...auditorium, on the other hand, could be made a permanent monument. It could be constructed in brick, and designed, like the Freshman dormitories, to harmonize with the traditional Harvard buildings. I believe there would be little danger, at the present day, of creating an architectural monstrosity like Memorial Hall and Sanders Theatre and a very good chance of obtaining something of the simple dignity and delightfulness of detail of the Freshman buildings
...doubly inexcusable when a person realizes that it comes from one in Mr. Wheelwright's position. It was not only extremely poor taste but grossly presumptive.

...psychology of the authors of the red parody is somewhat unusual. Its brilliant color made it sell like wild fire; red magazines were sticking out of everybody's pockets on Wednesday afternoon. But the attempted blow proved a boomerang. For every copy of the parody sold,--the figure is said to approach 1,500,--a copy of the real magazine was also sold. The satirists gave the true paper the best possible free advertising and undoubtedly doubled if not trebled the circulation of the first number...
