Subway Tavern credit for some improvements over other taverns, the clergyman deemed it morally lacking on four counts as follows: Liquor sold at the tavern does not make drinkers sober. A person can go to another tavern for more drinks. A person can acquire the drink habit in the Subway Tavern and then drink elsewhere "to complete his ruin." Even the limited drinking in the Subway Tavern might ruin a person. In conclusion, the clergyman wrote, "So far as I could learn or observe in three visits at different hours and on two different days, the place has all the dangers which those who opposed it anticipated." Shortly after The Advance article was published, the Subway Tavern as Potter had envisioned it closed. A commercial saloon opened in the building. Pan-Anglican Congress, 1908 In 1908, Potter attended the Pan-Anglican Congress in London. There were more than two hundred bishops and "several thousand clergy and laity." Group meetings were held simultaneously in halls throughout the city. Delegates looked for Potter because they viewed him "as not only the greatest representative of American churchmen but as one of whom any English speaking Christian might be proud." To them, Potter combined "human graciousness" with "official dignity." While in England, Potter "preached often in the greatest of English pulpits," such as Canterbury Cathedral, the Chapel Royal, St. Paul's Cathedral and Westminster Abbey. The Pall Mall Gazette wrote about his preaching that "even the smallest child in the gallery could understand every word." Lectures In June 1890, Potter gave the Phi Beta Kappa address at Harvard University. His topic was "The Scholar and the State." In 1901, Potter delivered the Bedell lectures at Kenyon College on the subject "Man, Men, and their Master."" These lectures showed Potter "at his intellectual best." From April 21 to May 2, 1902, Potter delivered the William E. Dodge lectures at Yale University. The lectures can be read at The Citizen in His Relation to the Industrial Situation: Yale Lectures. In October 1905, Potter lectured at the University of St Andrews in Scotland.
