Opponents of the required course delight in dragging into the argument a romantic description of what a university should be. A community of scholars dedicated to the pursuit of knowledge and to the advancement of learning--such is the picture we have painted. Against this is raised a vivid scene to portray the iniquities of the required course--students frittering away their time in dead and uninteresting subjects at the expense of their true intellectual potentialities...
...recent "Crime," reference was made to "plump maidens, attired in healthy bloomers, who shriek with delight as they force their Lotharios to wallow in the mud"; these being the girls from Winsor. The writer, adding insult to injury, associated these same girls with some whom a "gentleman" could not identify as male or female.

For years he periodically bought and feverishly devoured armfuls of French pornographic books. When he first went to Manhattan, penny-in-the-slot peep-shows were his delight until he discovered the more compelling joys of the burlesque theatre. He had other eccentricities: he always ar ranged his knife and fork on his plate so that they should not point at his breast, was forever washing his hands, could not bear anything made of cotton. It still sets...
