...conducted by Professor Lowes. If Harvard has a single great teacher today, that teacher is Professor Lowes. The average Harvard professor has plenty of erudition, knows it, and is glad to show it; but there is also the professor who has plenty of erudition, knows it, and is eager to acquire more. Professor Lowes, being a great teacher, combines the qualities, but to the submergence of the first. After a month in any of the courses the student suddenly begins to realize that he is not being conducted through a mirrored gallery of facts, but that he is being...
...less sensible individuals, eager for the occurrence of an improbability, talked about Wallace Johnson of Philadelphia. Was it possible that he was about to win a National Title? In 1912 he was finalist against Maurice McLaughlin, in 1921 against Tilden. He has been rated in the first ten longer than any other player in tennis. His first appearance in that list was in 1908 when he placed ninth; in 1909 he was third, 1912 third, 1913 fourth, 1914 sixth, 1919 fifth, 1920 tenth, 1921 fourth, 1922 fifth.

...Eager farmers, their wives, their boys, their girls, their dependent uncles, aunties, began to thumb last week the new annual catalog of Montgomery Ward & Co. The farmers found themselves more prosperous than last year and they found the catalog correspondingly fatter. It contained 700 pages measuring each 9 x 13 inches. It contained - very like its predecessors-marvelous pictures of skirts, of trousers, of miniature railroads, of horses ready to ride, of chairs ready to sit down in, of frenzied wallpaper, of tombstones, of everything. And the prices? A mere $3.17, or $22.45 including wrapper...
