...airmen who manned Germany's raiding machines who will be punished. It will not be those stern minds which ordered the raid, nor the nourishers of that fierce policy of conquest which has led Germany on through the ruin of nations and the ruin of our frail human morality to the goal for which she would almost pay her life. It is not the workers of evil who would suffer by any scheme of revenge that might be planned...
...however, highly desirable that these methods be officially and clearly defined. The constitution of the Society merely states that "scholarship and good character shall be the grounds of election." But traditions are frail, and those which Phi Beta Kappa has built up for its elections could well be set forth in the by-laws and made accessible in print to the members.

A COLLEAGUE...

The first transposes the "Madame Butterfly Motif" into the familiar key of Kipling's dialesticisms. The second is a highly colored trifle as frail as the "jewelled veil gossamer" that its writer mentions. The last is purposeless but inoffensive. Like so much modern verse, all of these compositions lack the bone and fibre of solid thought and poetic necessity. They leave the impression that their authors sat down and cried, "Lo, I must produce a poem," and then cudgelled their brains...
