...matters in Geneva but at 9 o'clock this morning he is going to visit Economics 2 in Harvard 1, where he will discuss the problems of money and banking in England that were caused by the wandering around Europe of Corsica's most famous citizen. It is only fair for me to make the retort courteous to my most illustrious disciple and vagabond with...
...President Pringle is right. When undergraduate affairs are such that the local officers of the law must intervene to prevent the college from becoming a mere institution of corruption, action is truly imperative. This last publication of the Brockton Blimp is too much. It is fair to expect occasional dull spaces in the pages of any humorous paper. But when those spaces are filled with obscenity in lieu of the lacking wit it is high time to call a halt. For years the tradition of Brockton periodicals has been--"Humor and news, clean, clear, and clever." And now the Blimp...

And they do try to adjust it to the setting, to make it comprehensible...
This afternoon there are two events which I must not overlook. At King's Chapel in Boston Dr. Gastave Kruger will speak at 2 o'clock on recent tendencies in the German church. At 4.30 o'clock comes what bids fair to be the most interesting lecture of the day. The story of the actors, authors and scenery of the early French Theatre will be told in Emerson J by Professor Jeanroy whose previous lectures on the origins of the first theatres in France have convinced me that it was the gentlemen of my own metier who were responsible...
