...some degree the "moral and social fog" occasioned by loose thinking, the "Forum" has announced a definition contest to clarify such toil-worn terms of elastic meaning as "Americanism", "progress", "tolerance", and "propaganda". Although it would be impossible to cage all the connotations of a word or to halt its manipulation by argumentative proponents of social doctrine.

...debating whether to roll up an obliterating tally or content himself with a moderate victory for the sake of many substitutions, must make Cambridge hearts glow with ghoulish glee. Yale may content itself with out-playing the Crimson, but Harvard will have the long awaited satisfaction of a superb halt to Yale's victorious rampage of the last three years; while Mr. George F. Gundolfinger will doubtless settle down to write another version of Why the Bulldog Is Losing Its Grip. The Princetonian...
