...Significance. A picture of our own times and the times immediately precedent drawn with astonishing fidelity, vigor and vitality. As faithful and interesting a delineation of at least three segments of present-day American society as could well be desired. Moreover, a book that has the unmistakable breath of life in it ? a book whose reputation may of necessity be transitory because it deals so entirely with current problems ? but a book that nevertheless is in aim and accomplishment excellent, sustained, true...

But the prophets and apostles of the Ku Klux Klan propose to draw them in with a vengeance.

And there is little reason to believe that these conditions are radically altered in the present. Unless Harvard individualism--or Harvard indifference, as the critics have it,--is a thing of the past, the University will never be swept by the cheap and ignorant iraternalism of Kleagles...
