...competent is Hiram Bingham to form a true mental picture in this way? He is Republican to the core; intensely and practically pious; rich because of the wealth of a small, frail wife who has borne him seven sons; and learned with the knowledge of an explorer in Peru and of a onetime (1909-24) professor at Yale University. He is human enough to set above his mantle framed letters from various "celebrities." Of recent years he has made a sound, tenacious success in politics. His voice, his jaw and his eyes are hard-not particularly pleasant. Therefore, it would...
...anonymity so necessary for successful indiscretions in his native Boston. His humor runs sooner to dubious epigrams than to clever psychology and his wit limps much of the way. But what he does not know about ancient Rome he invents neatly. Readers with a weakness for scandal, however frail, will applaud his effort to do with Cleopatra what Professor Erskine did for Helen of Troy...

...sitting on one end and the Students Association on the other. During the last three years the Phillips Brooks House Association has steadily mounted with the Student Association dipping downward. Such was the tendency until June, 1926, (an eventful date!) when the end of the sec-saw bearing the frail Students Association bumped the ground and our rival toppled off the plank altogether, bequeathing in its last gasp its residuaries (all bad bargains) to our committee. This year, then, we found on our hands a spacious Students Room to be maintained and bountifully stocked with chess men and checkers...
