Although the great American epic is the conquest and taming of a continent, American patriotism is not concentrated on geography but on a historic event and an idea.

Both notions have been distorted or perverted at times -that happens with all patriotism. But even when it is misused, American patriotism remains ideological more than racial or ethnic.

...inch cylinder was cast in New York last year. (Said the New York Gazetteer: "The first performance of the kind ever attempted in America and allowed by the judges to be extremely well executed.") This spring Colles was finally ready to test his creation, and when he demonstrated that it could pump 200 gallons per minute from a 50-foot well up to the reservoir, he unfurled a flag that could be seen all the way to Bowling Green...

Marlowe was surrounded by young ladies of wondrously easy virtue; Chandler adored his mother and married a woman 20 years...
...issues that should prove to be most controversial in the Faculty center on undergraduate concentrations and the creation of a core curriculum--a revitalized General Education. While many of the task forces are behind schedule in their work, Paul C. Martin '52, chairman of the Physics Department and of the task force on concentrations, says that his panel is completing its final recommendations now. Aside from suggesting that communications between students and the various concentrations be improved, however, the task force continues to waffle. Martin says he is unsure what should be done with selective enrollment, or elite, majors like...
