Excerpt from The Ethical Functions of Scientific Study: An Address Delivered at the Annual Commencement of the University of Michigan, June 28, 1888
Above all material acquisitions, above all intellectual attainments, above even the refinements of culture, in the esteem and endeavor of true educators, rises the moral exaltation of an individual or of a people. Whatever contributes to intellectual attainment rises in regard above material acquisition; whatever contributes to the refinements of thought rises above mere intellectual vigor; whatever contributes to moral elevation rises above all these. Whatever, therefore, enters into the curricula of our institutions of learning, invites judicial inquiry respecting its ethical character, tendencies and effects. I sympathize with those who esteem a devout and reverent spirit as loftier than all these, crowning them all; but that lies beyond and above our present theme.
It is not our habit to attach the idea of the moral to what we are accustomed to designate intellectual processes. We are wont to permit ourselves to regard certain mental activities as indifferent in moral character. Some activities do indeed betray an ethical nature less obtrusively than others. Unquestionably the feelings and the choices bring more distinctly into consideration than do the processes of the intellect the question whether their action is right and wholesome or indifferent or evil. Nevertheless it is here affirmed that a moral character attaches to our thinking as well as to our feeling and to our action. "As a man thinketh so is he." The swerving of the mind from absolute rectitude in any of its activities falls under ethical condemnation. Falsity in intellectual action is intellectual immorality.
