Commentary On Harper
Kirby Page writes in Jesus or Christianity (1929):
Chancellor William Harper once declared that "the Creator did not intend that every individual human being should be highly cultivated morally and intellectually. It is better that a part should be fully and highly cultivated, and the rest utterly ignorant."
Chancellor William Harper quoted with enthusiasm from an article which said; "Slavery has done more to elevate a degraded race in the scale of humanity; to tame the savage; to civilize the barbarous; to soften the ferocious; to enlighten the ignorant, and to spread the blessings of Christianity among the heathen, than all the missionaries that philanthropy and religion have ever sent forth."
