...more far-sighted of the two. At the same time production has not been nearly as great as possible. It has moved in leaps and bounds rather than steadily. Neither strikes nor monopolies are good for industry and both certainly work hardships upon the consuming public. Until standards exist which will eliminate these, there must be some government interference. If non-partisanship of Labor will square with this, Mr. Woll's argument is perfect...
...days at Harvard there should be less class unity than at many other colleges is probably inevitable. Numbers are too unwieldy, trees are too thick, the pressure for personal rather than class honors is too great. A few exterior appliances for binding together this loose collection of individuals do exist--the Freshman "phalanxteries" and the annual smokers, for instance.

...specific purpose of the excursion is to "increase the familiarity with the interests and beauty of the American National Parks". That it should be necessary thus to advertise and to create interest in one's own country is unfortunate, especially when there exist nineteen national parks offering unequalled scenic and scientific displays. But the unpleasant fact will not down, that almost all who are able to go to Europe take the first boat and see America in the pages of magazines...
