...immortal Andreyev was a Russian because he spoke no thought that was not coloured by a memory. He differed from our Shakspere because no impulse was edited in its utterance. His was the uncensored utterance of the psychology of his soul. He made no apologies. He left much to guess at and work out. But if you have the courage and the perseverance to discard the ever obvious, you find and will continue to find yourself free from the character-racking conventionalities of our useless modern civilization.

...CRIMSON, before attacking the Athletic Association, had really made a study of this wonderful organization and had seen how keenly and carefully it plans for the welfare of every Harvard man, the amount of time and energy given by Mr. Moore and his assistants to avoid mistakes and bad guesses, it is fairly certain that the recent editorial would never have been written.

This is the recent development of the radio telephone. The Westinghouse Electric and Manufacturing Co. and several other large companies interested in the building of radio apparatus, have made use of the radio telephone to broadcast musical programmes and lectures. Every one owning a wireless receiver may sit in his home and hear this. These stations are already working in Boston, New York...
