Permit me, at this juncture of our inquiry into the godlessness of Harvard, to ask just what we mean by "godless". If Harvard is "godless" now, when, if ever, was it "godly" and what are the ear-marks of "godliness"? Do ablution, application of the Urim and Thummin, the wearing of phylacteries, and rhythmic beating upon the breast constitute "godliness"? Perhaps "godliness" is synonymous with regular attendance upon a house of worship. Or "godliness" may be consequent upon acceptance of a creed, say the Athanasian or its antithesis, the Nicene; perhaps even upon subscription to some system of dogma devised...
...discussed. Plays are published. In the field of stage-design, he finds the most advance. They are the leaders in the new era, forced to mark time while the others catch up.

In Paris, the performances given by the Swedish troupe were extravagantly loved and hated...

Anne Morrison, actress, is the author, and it is rather more than evident that Miss Morrison keeps an ear to the open window to catch her neighbors' squabbles. The chief merit in the play is the fierce joy you can derive by turning to Aunt Jane beside you and disturbing all within hearing distance with the obvious query: "Isn't that just like the Sullivans...
...Russia as elsewhere there are editors who feel pride in their work. The Pravda, an organ of the Communist Party, lent ear to strife within the party. It published criticisms of the Central Committee and attacks on the critics. The Central Committee did not like this impartiality of the Party's organ. Zinoviev, Chairman of the Third Internationale, ordered that all articles bearing on strife within the Party be submitted to him. Konstantinov, the editor, sent 100 manuscripts. Zinoviev returned four of them for publication. Konstantinov protested. Zinoviev ordered. Konstantinov resigned...
