Note 9 — Humanism: An Essay at Definition IRVING BABBITT
Reading edition
See, for example, the symposium entitled Humanist Sermons edited by C. W. Reese (1927). On page 60 of this volume one encounters the statement that “all Americans are humanists”! For a fuller elucidation of the distinction between the humanist and the humanitarian see the opening chapters of my book Literature and the American College (1908).
