...herald the possibility of a Renaissance, of a literary magazine that might carry on the traditions which the Monthly fostered to even greater heights. The next day the real Harvard Magazine came out. Can I face the more mature judgments of certain members of our English Department and confess to a decided feeling of disappointment on perusing the pages of the new periodical? With the exception of Miss Barbey's sketch, a charming "bit", creating the mood of a dead past much as Hergesheimer does in "Java Head", I failed to find anything in the publication to stir either...
...landmark in the history of American policy. It will in all probability be the first of a series of great efforts to convince the people of the United States of the wisdom of his doctrine.

The Regiment as a body was more inspired by the ideals of immediate efficiency...
...therefore, vulnerable on our Canadian and Mexican borders. That either Great Britain or Mexico are a serious menace does not lie in the thought of the CRIMSON. It is the German menace which alarms. That cannot come from Canada, I take it; can it come from Mexico? I confess that I am unable to see how Germany alone can undertake any distant operations against us. But there may be new alliances! So there may be. And we might be drawn into some war in the future...
