...Liberal Club's public disavowal of any intention to hold an anti-war demonstration on the Widener steps Saturday afternoon. In view of the University's official displeasure at the earlier announcement, this retraction cannot come as much of a surprise. University Hall, wherever its sympathies may lie, obviously could not permit so gross a broach of hospitality, and University Hall does hold all of the cards. But the circumstances of the retraction were singular enough to make comment only just...
...students' meeting. Nomad does not enter what must seem to a casual observer the most fertile of all fields of inquiry, the posterity of Nechayev in Germany. For surely it is from Sergei Nechayev that the pragmatic anarchists of the German left directly derive--the "all Europe must lie in ashes" school that is so fascinating as long as it is numericaly small.

...past contain the key to the future or the plan of the present, for, perversely, the more it is studied the less it shows. History when glimpsed hastily or through a mirage presents an exciting panorama; carefully considered, looked at in detail, it is a drab plain, where facts lie side by side, and even the law of cause and effect is questioned. Containing examples of everything, history can teach only the lesson read into...
