...possible altogether to condemn the attitude. Twice France has been burned, and burned severely, for lack of sufficient protection against German fire, and naturally she has no desire for a third experience. Furthermore, as M. Barthou pointed out, Chancellor Wirth has given her no reason to regard her old enemy as a penitent sinner. Agreements signed by the Germans are still mere scraps of paper--as witnessed by the refusal to keep the reparation promises. Her troops, too, keep having unpleasant little experiences with bombs while carrying out the provisions of the treaty. Only a day or two ago, while...
...condemn Mr. Arthur Pounds' suggestion in the Atlantic nor the CRIMSON'S praise of that suggestion. Even as a man who carries a chip on his shoulder I think it most excellent. Nor do I question the generality that "educated people are the happiest". I am not concentrating in philosophy. And if I accused the CRIMSON of passing judgement, I am entirely to blame for such an accusation. It is not in the province of liberais to pass judgement on anything...
...Tumulty's book has one fault which will immediately condemn it for a majority of readers; his own petty personality intrudes in every sentence. The book might better be termed an autobiography of the president's secretary, for the greater man is distinctly secondary.

...hopeless misapprehension of the author's intent, I should hardly be thus tempted to come to the defense of a work of art that can stand firmly on its own feet.

Are we to condemn the author as one who has "distorted and besmirched" human life on the grounds offered by your reviewer...
...times there does appear an article tinged with anti-Yale prejudice. They are often amusing from certain standpoints. People who laugh, however, seldom condemn. The stories that have appeared criticizing our Campus are not doing damage, because they are not convincing. Nobody takes them seriously. A joke on ourselves is to be laughed at--when it is a good joke. But when invention tires, and the articles become fiat repetitions we do yawn a little and wonder why the editors allow such obvious space-fillers to clutter up their columns.--The Yale News
