...second matter is that of acoustics. This is the simplest problem of all,--though I confess the mechanics of it might shock some of our victims of Harvard tradition. It would be a simple matter to erect--again at not a great cost--audio amplifiers in different parts of the Stadium so that everything said could be distinctly heard. The telephone transmitters on the platform in the center of the Stadium would carry the voice to the loud speaking telephones located in various parts of the structure. I dare say that one would have less trouble in hearing than...
...through college, dashing off keen editorials in which they use such big words as "Syndicalism", "exploitation", and "Johannesburg"; and finally fare forth in the world to enlighten the public through the editorial columns of your "New York Timeses", your "Chicago Tribunes", and your "Boston Transcripts". (This last is, I confess, modeled after your clever, but somewhat misguided--no offense--allusion of some time ago to "your Hylans, your Thompsons, and your Curleys".

For five weeks delegates from forty-one states sat at Geneva and accomplished more than any other Congress in that time; they proved that cooperation was possible. No one can doubt any longer the reality of a working League of Nations...
...wander. Let us return to prose and confess at once that "My Uncle Henry," with his "thin, pale face and faded blue eyes," his immaculately bald head and his "quick, fussy gestures," plays fast and loose not only with his nephew's affections, but with our own. There is, in Stoddard Colby's portrait of the strange codger, a touch of whimsical, wistful drollery that recalls the delicate nuances and half-tones of Lamb. We think of the reminiscent Charles and his "Poor Relations," and that is praise enough. Mr. Colby has achieved the unusual in penetrating through the outward...
