...CRIMSON has seemed unnecessarily critical. Even if the movement is superficial, it is valuable in itself and as an index of something deeper. But at present we know little about it. Heywood Broun commends it, and Harvard college immediately becomes occipital. Our attitude seems to indicate either fear or contempt of the new tendency. It certainly indicates insularity and self-satisfaction...
Once fairly into the story, the play moves more easily. The devotion of Peter, the office boy, the man who has cured his back; the dawning affection for the Doctor on the part of his wife; the awe and fear, almost, with which they both regard him, are set forth in the second act. We have the light laughter of the pair as they romp upstairs contrasted sharply with their mouse-like timidity whenever they are where they are likely to meet the Doctor.

...refutation of the six points outlined in the platform, we fear that Mr. Reynal has a very different idea of the purpose of football from our own.

Under our present civilization, Mr. Nearing continued, an ever increasing specialization is tending to disrupt all cooperation between different men and classes, and hence, now more than ever before...
...points I beg leave to mention. I fear you are a bit too confident in your belief about the availability of the aeroplane. Theoretically union men are not supposed to carry pistols or blackjacks; such instruments are for the protection of--er--the public, and are reserved to Allan Pinkerton's brave boys. If things had worked according to schedule the time poor old Louis had the disagreement with his subjects, the Jacquerie would not have had arms. And I suppose the first Paleolithic genius who slung a rook with a twisted grass rope had no idea that the gentleman...
