...curious to note how much Mr. Meiklejohn is able to convey by his wording. His inaugural address is a rhetorical model, a perfect illustration of the use of topic sentence and so forth; and to a certain extent an illustration of how stupid the sue of mechanical rules alone can be. The baccalaureate sermon, on the other hand, is replete with dignity and yet grace; while the prophecy of the next hundred years is filled with almost poetic fire.

...part of the President's remarks which he thoroughly approved was the declaration that we would not enter the League. For the rest Mr. Lodge refers several times to the " League Court" and to " the court proposed and chosen by the League"-phrases that are hardly calculated to convey the same impression as Mr. Harding's speech...
