...YEARS AT THE IMPERIAL GERMAN COURT-Count Robert Zedlitz-Trützschler-Doran ($5.00). For seven years, Count Zedlitz-Trützschler was Controller of the Imperial Household of Kaiser Wilhelm II, now Kaiser of a small estate at Doom, Holland. For seven years, he lived almost cheek by jowl with his Imperial master; he knew him as few men did; he left him in 1910, thoroughly disgusted and, as Bismarck did 20 years earlier, with a profound sense that the Kaiser's absolutism would lead Germany to catastrophe.

...Faculty is fond of saying, "that its professors disagree so radically." And he generally proceeds to disagree. So it is one of the glories of the United States that two schools holding as widely differing opinions as the socialistic and the capitalistic can live, as it were, jowl by jowl, and express their views freely. From such a condition of affairs the country need fear nothing. A state is in danger not from expressed but from suppressed opinions. Should citizens cease to disagree they would cease to live, becoming merely...
