...solemn festival draws to its close. For a few minutes we linger still to interchange our mutual sentiments and feelings, and then to part until the 300th anniversary summons the sons of Harvard to unite on a similar occasion. A few may expect to see that distant day, but most of us know that for us it is impossible. But whether we join in it or not, those who shall commemorate are to be our brethren, united by that bond of fraternity whose mystic cords draw together all who have drunk at this fountain. Their voices as our own, when...
...Last week you published an article about how a New York newspaper woman [Rachel McDowell of the New York Times] knelt at the feet of the Pope and kissed his ring [TIME, Sept. 23]. She touched the Pope's hand, let the touch linger, and said she wished she would never have to wash her hand again (ugh!) And she had hysterics! And boasted about it all!

Most big shopkeepers admit that a "loss leader" is sometimes good business. Customers attracted to a store by the cut-rate price of one product linger to buy other products on which the store can make a profit.

One would like, above all to linger over more of his statements than this: "The end of (Greek) science was not to do but to know: felix qui potuit rorum cognoscore causas. The reward of the scientist was to share the blessedness of the immortal gods who are eternally satisfied with the contemplation of the ordered course...
...experiments will come; old customs will linger by the wayside. The college student simply closes his textbooks at the close of his short journey on an unfinished story of life with its conflict, suffering, and struggle for happiness. The pages that we learn about today will still be there, but new pages in life's experience will be added day by day. Balzac and Longfellow and Bach and Michael Angelo--these will still be on life's pages long after the texts are closed; Roosevelt and Hitler and Doumergue, too, will have filled their niche. But the world moves...
