Her coarse skin and irregular features express suffering, her eyes have seen the horrors of war. The work is a passionate attack on the brutality and stupidity of modern civilization.

It is evident you did not read my remarks, as published, with your usual discernment. I did not say that university "authorities" should intervene in public trials of student agitators, accused of disorderly conduct, rioting, etc. On the contrary, I argued against such intervention by the "authorities."
