“There are two systems of ethical philosophy... One system is that which makes virtue a means; the other, that which makes it an end. According to the one, we are to practice virtue for the good that will come of it to ourselves or our fellow-beings; the other, we practice virtue for its own sake, for its intrinsic fitness and excellence, without reference to ulterior consequences, save when, and so far as, those consequences are essential factors in determining the intrinsic quality of the action.”
Comey fits the bill of neither.
Reveley is no longer there. He was fired after he had a cross removed from an original windvane on the Wren Building, built in 1693.
The removal sparked a round of alumni backing out of financial commitments to the school, to the tune of tens of millions of dollars.
