...modern languages and cultures, nothing about the vast realms of modern science, nothing about the intricacies of research, or even about the qualifications making for success in teaching. If Columbia can commit this absurdity, why not every other university in the land? No longer are educators to strive to grow in breadth and wisdom in order that they may be called to fill the seats of the mighty in education. Theirs is to labor in obscurity at salaries appropriate to obscurity...
...earth. The church has no clergy in the usual sense, but a vast pyramid of lay orders to which every male is expected to belong and to which a full 250,000 do. Boys become deacons and begin taking part in religious services when they are twelve. As they grow older they may become, successively, teachers, priests, elders, members of a Council of Seventy, and high priests. Women only "share in their husbands' priesthood," although they are duty-bound to take a vigorous part in subsidiary church work...
Oldtime Alberta ranchers like Edward Waines, 87, have watched the Calgary Stampede grow through the years from a purely local show, which featured only straight ranch contests, to a commercialized, supercolossal spectacle.

It makes the passenger's eyes smart and aggravates his cold or sinus...
Since that day, Judah Magnes has seen his university grow from a tiny college of 120 students to a great research center of 1,200. He has watched 17 greystone buildings spring up, most of them erected by the students themselves. From funds raised by Jews throughout the world, he has slowly equipped its laboratories, painstakingly built up the greatest library in the Near East, is now completing its medical school. The University has become a refuge for Europe's Jewish scholars, and the greatest center of Hebrew culture in the world (all its classes are conducted in Hebrew...
