...probability she has admired her. But to class her work as one of the Millay school is to deny her the elusive fire of originality. Mr. Wilson might just as well said that Miss Parker was of the Petrarch school, since her sonnet form bears resemblances to his. To condemn a lady who pens admirable hymns of hate to any one school is dogmatic especially when that lady can write a touching sonnet concerning a maid standing waiting at the gate and concluding with the illuminating statement that "it was the gate her true love gave her." That Miss Parker...
...flood of angry publicity which will lead nowhere. "Dirty" football cannot be proved by individual opinion and accusation, by slow movies, or any other such method, because there is always another, and equally good side to the question. The only judge who is competent to accuse and condemn a player or a team for dirty football is the referee. He is there to prevent infringement of the rules. He is neither an excited partisan in the stands or an emotionally keyed up linesman or half-back in the heat of a hard game. His judgement, because it is obviously...

The value of commercial aviation above will more than off-sec any evils resulting from the transition of people from the earth...
Although whatever fame he has attained is due to the modern demand for tabulated materialism, Roger W. Babson statistical expert, does not hesitate to condemn the increasing prostitution of school and church by the mechanics of commercial success. "The educational institutions of the country have gone materially mad and our churches are equally guilty," is the dictum of the mathematical prophet. And by educational institutions he means both the elementary schools and the universities. "Our colleges are diploma factories for department stores, giving away anything wanted, irrespective of whether it makes for happiness or discontent." The old problem of serving...
