HUPD Chief Says Harvard Yard Encampment is Peaceful, Defends Students’ Right to Protest
Dr. Herford, owing to illness in his family, was unable to speak before the Harvard Religious Union last evening. Luckily Professor Royce was able at the last moment to read an article by himself on the "Outlook in Ethics," which appeared in the last number of the International Journal of Ethics
After reading the article, Professor Royce discussed it, informally, with the members of the Union. The key-note, he said, of the modern idea in Ethics is that what should be sought is not, as the Utilitarians said, the greatest sum-total of good, but the highest organization, - the greatest good which can be obtained while still keeping development of the individual; in other words the modern idea is the greatest good to the greatest number of distinct individuals, as opposed to the Utilitarian idea of the greatest sum of good.
