...consensus of opinion shows conclusively that the University while being somewhat amused is thoroughly disgusted with the attitude which Mr. Wheel-wright has taken on higher salaries. He has no argument. His letter, which consists solely of incoherent statements and flashy phrases such as "clapped into a limousine" and "by dint of theatre parties and champagne", is amusing enough and well fit for the latest parody on the Harvard Magazine, even when we do not consider that the author meant it to be serious. It gives very good proof that the unintentional humor is the best...
...that the notorious "flivver" ever went under the incognito name of a pleasure car. It is baffling in the extreme.

Hence, it is not out of place to consider the alternative. It was the consensus of opinion at the hearing that the added expense to classes from the rent of halls for class smokers, dinners, dances and mass meetings if the Union were not at their disposal, would average five or six dollars per man if the expenses were borne equally by every man. In other...
...tentative enrollment agreement: "I shall endeavor, to the best of my ability, to attend, and will encourage others to attend, the camps of military instruction to be held during the summer of 1916." This has been done because the great number of hostile criticisms seemed to indicate that the consensus of opinion in the University is against this provision...
