...such term as the above was quite enough to arouse ire in the breasts of undergraduates when Professor East's program was first outlined. The misleading reports in various newspapers yesterday contributed to this resentment. To follow the establishment of a great and very materialistic Business School with a huge and very practical School or Dirt Farming is a development they do not relish. It now appears that the suggestion is not as wild and impractical as it at first appeared...
Interwoven in this uneven melodrama is the suggestion, to be expected, of men being the sport of hidden strings of fate and passion. But sometimes, as in the actual marionette show put upon the stage, the strings are made too evident by the dramatist.

...spread it out so that the light of the kerosene lamp fell upon its crumpled front page. The woman fell silent to watch his face which, as he read, sharpened, paled with incredulous horror. The paper was a copy of the Daily News, Manhattan gum-chewers' sheetlet. In huge black capitals across its top leered the headline QUAKE SHAKES CITY. Beneath was a picture of the famed skyline of lower Manhattan, evidently taken from an airplane...
