Ingenious cross-referencing according to rank revealed that while professors and associate professors put most emphasis on Dependability and Sincerity, Scholarliness was admitted the universal requisite among instructors and assistant professors. Point is lent thereby to the phrase recently used by the Harvard Alumni Bulletin "the stifling influence of graduate scholarship." Confession like this is good for the academic soul...
...duchess is the slow bulging hub of a wheel whose whirling spokes are a glitter of medieval cities and country castles, deaths and tournaments and plagues. Jews who lent money and princes who rode through summer dusts or winter snows, bishops who begat bastards, kings who kept mistresses and died of wounds; all the remote and entangled brightness of a century, like all past

He is an author of the truest quality and his voice?a voice of liquid gold?is lent to every civic cause. He is a trades unionist in principle and practice but believes in the open shop. He is a fighting pacifist. He is the only man of whom the Encyclopedia Britannica reversed its opinion completely within a decade. General Pershing said of him: 'He has made possible...
