Thanks to a willing House Master and an energetic and sociable tutorial staff Kirkland House has been well organized intellectually. If the Houses are to exist by more than mere name, it will be possible only through the tutorial system. Without a doubt the tutorial system is the backbone of everything the Houses represent. It is by means of their assistance that college will, in truth, be an educational institution and not a play ground. Kirkland House has a very able tutorial staff. While it is predominantly represented in the fields already mentioned, it has very capable men in History...
...volunteered to "rally round and die for dear old Adams," as may perhaps be the case at some future time, but there is a growing feeling of genuine pride and interest in the House, not a feeling that will break down the social barriers that are bound to exist in any cross-section of a social institution, but one which is gradually creating a common bond of working fellowship. From the first the House has been marked for its informality, and this spirit still continues, not only in the relations between the Master, Tutors, and students but among the latter...

Industrialism, depersonalizing human relations, "has aborted 'Americanism' as an ideal and has thwarted workers as individuals."

S., thinks Kallen, "is the history of an unremitting warfare in behalf of Individualism as a self-conscious way of life, with...
...Macintosh case, unpopular as it was with liberal thinkers, had good basis in law. It was formed on precedent and on accepting the Constitution as it stands. It pointed out "that citizenship is a high privilege, and when doubts exist concerning a grant of it, generally at least, they should be resolved in favor of the United States against the claimant." But it is doubtful that the act of 1906 which determined the qualifications for naturalization implied that a man should not be naturalized if, because of religious belief, he is opposed to war or unwilling to support arms...
