...difficulties of today embarrass the fraternity system, with its rows of expensive private houses, to a painful degree. Only too often membership must either be restricted to the rich, or offered promiscuously to anyone who can help most expenses. The fact that many man have not the means to join not only increases the non-members, but makes the financial burden exorbitant for the chosen few. Thus the position of the so-called "barbarians" on the average college campus has suffered a paradoxical change. No longer a mere aesthetic menace, a fringe of outcasts condescendingly tolerated, they have come...
Would the United States join in such a boycott?

He resigned in 1929 to join The Nation. Last month he published The Anatomy of Criticism. Essayist William Hazlitt was his great-great-great uncle...
...Join Mr. A. C. B. in the query, "Why? ? ? ? Why the bell?" Is it to awaken certain employees? Isn't the college aware that we have such things as alarm-clocks; that they can be had for as little as sixty-nine cents? Aren't the Powers Above aware that this nuisance is deleterious to the health? In my own case, I get one less hour of sleep each night. Think, too, of the psychological effect. It's like having a cannon go off outside your window! It usually spoils my whole morning, and I am sure...
