Abstract
IN 1901 there came into the possession of Yale University the sum of 85,000 dollars with which to establish an annual course of lectures “designed to illustrate the presence and providence, the wisdom and goodness of God, as manifested in the natural and moral world.” The endowment is not incomparable in scope and purpose with the well-known Gifford Trust at the Scottish Universities, but it is perhaps characteristic of a younger nation to prefer the natural world to the moral, and rather to seek for wisdom in the facts of nature themselves than in the philosophic wrappings spun around them by the learned through the ages. Certainly it would appear logical that any appraisement of the Almighty's influence in the natural world should be preceded by some knowledge of nature itself.
