...unwritten dogma of the Protestant Episcopal Church commands the observance of the tenets of good taste. When the President & Mrs. Coolidge walked to the dais for the opening of the 49th triennial General Convention of the Church, they picked their way through a lane of approving smiles, nor was there handclapping, for the beating of palm upon palm, except as a signal to acolytes, is neither rubric nor good taste at a church ceremony. When it came time for the House of Deputies (lower legislative house of the convention) to elect a president, only three ballots were necessary to affirm...
...founded on the masses and keeping close to the masses. . . . All who have Fascismo at heart wish to create a regime whose ruling class can always draw from the people the men necessary to its constant renewal. . . .

Undergraduates and Faculty-alike...
...commenting editorially, sees that "a difficulty in ratification is sure to come" over the above provision. And its prophesy while slightly pessimistic is extremely same. The perfection of such a plan as would be instituted by this Constitution would be tested by every new problem that arose. No general dogma could include the variances of student life, since each question obviously must be faced with views as to its immediate causes and consequences. Set limitations could hardly be expected to deal equably with the several and almost innumerable facets of university government...
