...Ever since it has seemed as if America had lost its soul. There are voices heard in every direction, nothing clear and nothing definite; no leadership, no guidance, no appeal to our nobler selves. We lost the War and we are drunk by a prosperity which has made us so indifferent that, the gates being left unguarded, the domestic enemy has entered and taken every salient and every trench. What has the country gained at home?. . . The crassest of materialism reigns in Washington by grace of Woodrow Wilson's plunge into the War, and where materialism is there sits...
...Chaffee '11, professor of Physics, to a CRIMSON reporter yesterday. Professor Chaffee was commenting on this most recent invention, experimented with on Thursday at the Bell Telephone laboratories in New York, when Secretary of Commerce Herbert Hoover spoke over the telephone in Washington and was seen and heard in New York...
...color.

...first day out of confinement. And the changed attitude of the others, back to their normal indulgence towards a dowdy little bitch, cast a dream-like veil over the whole episode. Not until May, when her kennel rolled with black puppy-shapes, was she sure that she had really heard the Dark Gentleman's lyric blandishments. Author Stern, social chronicler, (The Matriarch, A Deputy Was King, Thunderstorm), now deserves a niche no whit below Christopher Morley's (Where the Blue Begins), from dog-lovers. If he could read it, Toes would ejaculate: "Great Spratt! I say, you chaps...
