Theology should be included in the curriculum, because, as Newman says, it is not a mere acquaintance with the scriptures, but is the Science of God, or truths we know about God put into a system.¹ Religious training, so defined, would not narrow the outlook of the student (as it would possibly do in the Hindu and the Moslem University), but would instil in him a catholicity of outlook and would teach him to place reason above emotion rather than be a victim of the latter.
