...typically French sense of the fitness of things that is to place one of these battered vehicles on exhibition in the Invalides, where are France's great military relies of the centuries. There its two cylinders will come to rest amid the armor of kings and banners of Napoleon. Upon a tablet will read the words of one of these chauffeurs spoken to Gallient on that memorable September 7, 1914: "One must do as one's comrades do: one must go where it is necessary." After all, neither Roland, nor Bayard, nor Henry of Navarre, nor Guynemer did more...
...then of the utmost concern that university graduates see clearly amid the fog and think straight amidst the babel of confusing voices. It sometimes seems as if no public address could attract attention today unless it constitutes a lurid arraignment of present conditions, or else a wanton attack upon some person or group of individuals.

Both settings, which were designed by D. M. Oenslager '23 and are being constructed under his direction, have been almost completed...
...economic efficiency--alike for the laborer and Mr. Seaver's "young barbarians" in the colleges? After all, it is the educated people who, by the large, are the happiest; that background social, philosophical, aesthetic that detached point of view which education gives, somehow helps to preserve one's equanimity amid the vicissitudes of existence. Such being the case, Mr. Seaver can not, with decency, dub "Pharisee" and "hypocrite" those who are anxious to place the means of happiness within reach of all; and this suggestion most certainly should not be greeted by the working youth with "an uncultured guffaw...
