Verbosity has been disposed of at the expense of unity. The objection that editorials are too wordy may be founded on actual fact, but they are, in most cases, at least an attempt to crystallize the general consensus of opinion; they try to be rather the expression of the student body than of the writer. Whether they are read or not, they are a criterion of student opinion that is accepted by the world at large. If a multiplicity of individual ideas is to be substituted for the digest offered by the editor, the force of the single expression will...
...West re-scan the article and observe that TIME spoke of Secretary of Interior Roy O. West's "past affiliations and investments" when stating the consensus of opinion that "it looked very much as though Secretary West's appointment would not be confirmed."

(TIME, Nov. 26) upon two of the very topics keynoted by Dr. Stresemann-Limitation of Armaments and Inter-Allied Debts...
Women musicians of the first rank are so rare that their existence is denied by many ardent protagonists of masculine superiority, but if there are such things as first rate women artists outside the specialized field of vocal music, the consensus of critical opinion places Miss Varady among them. Although her appearance today is primarily in connection with Music 4, those responsible for the conduct of the course extend the usual cordial invitation to all members of the University. Even if it makes one late for luncheon at some gay gathering elsewhere in New England, the Vagabond recommends attendance...
