Finally I must congratulate the contributing "Jewish student"--one who is so anxious for his academic opportunities as to wish to save them by slander, and so careful of his "scholastic standing" (?) as to hide behind the anonymity of the press! A shorter world for the above, whether or not in the Semitic dictionary's the uninspiring one of "cowardiee". The papers have recently been prolific of these statements by Jewish students, all equally irresponsible, anonymous, and untrue. Whatever the admirable qualities of the race, and the pure strain has many, they are being rapidly obliterated in the minds...

In every nation the farmer is the hide-boundest of the hide-bound. What was good enough for the farmer's grandfather and for his grandfather before him is good enough for him; he wants none of these "fool new-fangled" notions. But he cannot get away from facts, and he cannot keep his eyes shut always...
...engineers are making a brave at tempt to hide their sorrow. They have even started search for a new song. But whatever they may produce, it will never have the inspiration of the old one. In years to come when memory has dimmed, and they chant hymns to Dame Nicotine instead of Lord Bacchus, they may, with the perpetual optimism of the human race, imagine that the substitute is "Just as good", that they have cheated the muse. But she will know better...
