Not chasing originality!

I smiled to see that at the celebration of his 50th anniversary at Princeton, Charles Hodge said:

"I am not afraid to say that a new idea never originated in this Seminary."

Quoted by Hoefel, Robert J., ‘B. B. Warfield and James Orr: A Study in Contrasting Approaches to Scripture’ Christian Scholar’s Review 1986 vol 16 pt 1, p42 citing A. A. Hodge, The Life of Charles Hodge (NY, Charles Scribner's Sons, 1880), p521.
