...long waddle home. And in the air there is that strange silence that brings only happy sounds; the voice of the brook or the off-key whistle of a farm boy. It is that indefinable time of day or night which poets and song writers have tried to limit by a phrase without success. They call it gloaming, or twilight, or dusk and straightway destroy the illusion. It is none of these, but only ten minutes past sunset in New Hampshire and it must be heard and seen and felt, not rhymed and written...
...believe that no limit should be placed upon the initiative of the college editor. Every field of human activity should be open to his editorial ruminations. We base this belief upon our conception of the editorial as merely a thought provoking medium, and not, as some have come to view it, as something akin to an oracle.

There was no predominant leader of this latest insurrection...
...Gillette is for razor, Baldwin for locomotive, Colt for pistol. It was news last week when old R. Hoe & Co. bowed to the inevitable and passed into a receivership. Company officials blamed the decline in newspaper lineage, the fact that publishers are using their old presses to the limit, that "machinery is the last thing people buy in hard times." Yet publishers guessed that competition was also a cause for Hoe's plight, for the company has earned money on its common stock in only three of the past eight years...
