The great world of humanity lay around it unfelt, unregarded. All secular interests were absorbed into it, and where they could not be absorbed were ignored or denounced. Like a rock in a great sea, resting upon its own foundations, beaten upon by waves of which it took no manner of account, so stands the Puritanism of the seventeenth century, and the Harvard College which it built in the midst of the multifarious and restless history of man. The history of the college since that time of its fo...undation has been the story of a constant open- ing of this intense and limited and narrow life to the great human world by which it was surrounded. KEV. PHILLIPS BROOKS'S SERMON. 179 The years have brought perpetual enlargement. That narrowness and specialness of the seventeenth cen- tury Puritanism has shown how healthy it was even in its isolation, by the capacity which it has devel- oped to blend once more with larger human life, and make itself more and more truly human. There are four periods coming almost at the be- ginning and in the middle of each century, almost exactly fifty years apart, which seem to me to mark the stages of this outward pulsation of our college life, this feeling of and response to humanity around it.
