...feelings. Perhaps at no time in her history has our nation so needed all the latent patriotism that exists. Learning the words of our national hymn may be a valuable contribution in these critical times, and this bit of memory effort is not too much to ask of apparently patriotic citizens...
...should like to ask, forgetting for a moment the false rhetoric and almost inconceivable bad taste of the latter, which of the two displayed more activity, ardor and self-sacrifice and supported with greater ability the greater cause--the subject of the above account or the writer of the editorial?

As for personal contact with professors, either social or scholastic, it simply does not exist, except in a very few noteworthy cases. The University teas (stiff, unnatural functions that they are) are never largely attended. As for professors, only two or three, in the writer's knowledge, hold regular recep- tions where a student...
