...remarkable an event was this that the press of the nation has been stirred to applaud. And since it "is heralded on the Princeton Campus as the forerunner of the system of self-education which starts next fall", its success seems assured. One writer suggests invidiously that the episode was a mere object lesson engineered by the university press agent, but such suspicion is unbecoming. He should recognize in this the growing desire for student self-expression...
...moment of quiet between, the halves even those most biased can applaud the captains. In the attractive age of classic mythology these men would be heroes, eternally sung.

Neither conceptions have much appeal to this age which rather feels it is a question of ideas, an that the sparks from the anvils of many workers have at last lit a cleansing fire which promises to destroy the evils that they hated and leave the air unpolluted, undisturbed, as they would have...

Freshly conceived, acutely observant, on speaking terms with earth and eccentricity, the story steps with an easy twinkle. But "Old Dawson's Jumping-Off Place," by Mr. Burden, while it contains passages of imaginative glow and dramatic fire, strains plausibility. Even the sub-title, "From an Alaskan Diary", does not entirely persuade us. The "one last, single, long-drawn howl" is too much for us. We receive without accepting. And so of Mr. Whitman's "Shadows of Our Fancy": more...
