...little of the envious eyes upon them. Lovers do their loving shyly but unaffectedly, make their pretty speeches, kiss their pretty kisses, with no thought of the thousand eyes intruding upon their sentimental privacy. It never occurs to the stage criminal that his audience might, were it so inclined, betray his secret. His trust is as implicit as it is touch- ing. Suppose, for instance, that you, leaping up from your seat in the sixth row center, were to level an accusing finger at the dissolute brother and shout in stentorian indignation: "He it was, and not the poor...
...reactionary adherents in much the same way that he directed the army supplies when he was Quartermaster General in the Imperial Army. He writes, make speeches, acts for the cause of royalism; but in all this he makes sure that his pen, his tongue, and his actions do not betray him.

The present excresences betray internal rottenness; to reduce over-emphasis sufficiently would eliminate abuses...
...interest in college sports to go out for one of the teams, he ought to have enough enthusiasm to keep up in his studies. Yet college spirit in the past has repeatedly failed to prevent such disasters of academic origin, and there is no indication that it will not betray us again. Harvard captains have exhorted their faltering team-mates with indifferent success, probably because the trouble starts long before the season opens. It becomes apparent, therefore, that although the management can do much by watching prospective material in the college, the problem devolves upon the players themselves. Student tradition...
