...flood of periodicals mocking the accepted lies of the cigarette vendors are truly interpreted, an interval of relative honesty in advertising may be in the offing. In either case, gentlemanly perjury of the sort to which this company invited Mr. Lewis to sell his name cannot fail to draw the contempt and distrust of the sagacious reader upon the advertiser...
...abolition of professional coaches, and the substitution for them of amateurs whose primary occupation is teaching. At Kent, there are no professional coaches, and the school is, I venture to say, deficient neither in athletes nor in scholars.

The first stanza went finely, but along in the middle of the second-at that place where there is always a bit of uncertainty as to whether our hearts are to be thrilled with all her power, or whether our breaths we are to draw-there was a perceptible diminution of volume. Glancing about us we noticed a few of our most loyal fellow-Princetonians frankly at sea as to the words. And then we looked up at the speakers' table and there, singing word for word and measure for measure to the impressive cadence...
