...Most colleges here in America have on their governing boards alumni who are prominent business men. This interest of the business men in the college, and the need the college has of occasionally looking to the business men for advice and aid is a guarantee of advancement. Too often has the world of commerce scorned the colleges, as institutions dealing largely in theories, and its creators of intellectual snobs. Too often have the colleges, in turn, looked upon the business men as materialistic moneygrubbers. But with the coming of enlightened men of business as powers in the affairs...
...stab at being Kathie's equal. She, the waitress, is a cute baby-face with a pleasant voice and more acting poise than her royal lover. The master-comedian, Dewolf Hopper, gives a professional air to the show and makes even the slightest wise-crack seem funny by the aid of a contorted face and voice.

In Honduras there is a final "spectacle"-a firing squad . . . the limp body of the destiny-man ... a clatter of hoofs . . . the sparing of Peter...
...procrastinate as long as Mr. Baldwin's has, as it was early made clear that the coal strike was a matter for governmental intervention. With the alternative either of forcing owners to pay higher wages, or of lowering the pay of the miners, either to be accomplished with the aid of a gradually decreasing subsidy, the British government seems to be in almost as grave a position as the donkey which starved between two bales of hay. It is probable that there will be no starving in Great Britain this winter but there is liable to be an astounding number...
