As cameras whirred and co-eds squealed, the two boys went into earnest action, lunging, slashing, parrying, feinting, with danger flashing at the needle-points of their weapons. After many lively passages, Student Cousineau made a long, savage thrust and from Student Bauer's arm spurted a red jet of real blood. "Touche!" cried the referee and the duel was over...

Since then a Harvard professor chiefly in name...

Naturally, it is the more eager concentrators who form such a body, and it somehow works out that the more eager are the more radical. There is thus danger that the Council may gather together a fervid little knot of propagandists, eager for the Call, and bent on missionary work among the economic heathens. Any insistence on generally unaccepted doctrines would be bound to alienate great numbers of potentially valuable followers, and would end in futility. The harder...
