...with all things ripe for trouble, the battle will come before the war. Twelve years has not been too long for some people to remember; it has not even been long enough for some to forget. Neither in this country nor in many of the continental nations of Europe which have experienced a great growth of education coeval with the growth of nationalistic impulse in the past decade, will the flower of the nation blindly fling themselves in the dust. Youth has lost his patriotism and gained in understanding. If there is martyrdom and dying for the country it will...
...also not forget that from now on you are Harvard men. You will be known as Harvard men, and whatever you do, creditable or discreditable, will reflect on Harvard. You are following in the footsteps of thousands and thousands of others who have up-held her best traditions, protected her fair name, held high the torch of truth, and entrusted to those who have followed after the ideals for which she stands.

Unlikely to forget the Johnstown Flood of 1889 is Jacob Leonard Replogle, potent retired U. S. steelmaker. The direct result of the flood upon 13-year-old Master Replogle was that he was carried several miles downstream, clinging to the onetime roof of his onetime home.

"Forget it!" screeched the Gimbels advertisement, "Don't you believe for a minute that you can save a cent (to say nothing of six per cent) by buying for cash. . . . Gimbels prices are often a dollar less but rarely a penny more. . . . Gimbels will not be undersold...
...portrait of him but a biographical sketch made of rapid, isolated sequences from his life. The approach is conventional, almost school-bookishly historical. In the producers' effort, often successful, to make a recognizable human being from the cryptic figure of Lincolnian anecdote, the audience is never allowed to forget that this human being was also the Savior of the Union. It is not the approach an artist would take; in taking it Director David Wark (Birth of a Nation) Griffith was thinking first of the boxoffice. And since there is nothing in public life today remotely approaching the Lincoln legend...
