...hell! There was immorality there. Yes, immorality! Hugging and kissing in public. I'm oldfashioned. I'm a Sunday school man." Lawyer Carpenter told the jury he was defending Gastonia. "where the dove of peace hovers around the vine-clad door and the kindly light of the autumn sun kisses the curly hair of happy children." Lawyer Carpenter called the mill-owners, his employers, "a holy gang, a God-serving gang." He recited a poem to Mother, shook hands with Communist Press Agent Liston Oak, sat down...
...Saturday class during autumn is a dismal, sparsely attended affair at best. The Saturday one o'clock that concern undergraduates, to whom theoretically the first interest in the football team belongs, are very few. The half-hour surplus allowed at the start of the afternoon would hardly lead an earnest football follower to the classroom in preference to the pre-game practice.

...been pointed out before and it can well be pointed out again that there are several obvious fallacies in the arguments of those who uphold the thesis that the colleges are headed for hell and damnation because the stadiums are packed on autumn Saturday afternoons. In the first place, the only sport about which the undergraduate, at least at Harvard, is even inclined to be irrational, is football, and football extends through about two months of the nine-month college year. Perhaps those alarmists will concede the possibility of a little study being accomplished by the undergraduates in the remaining...
