...students who have not passed the language requirements by the end of their second year--but it is not. There is continually a controversy as to which activities the probation axe ought to fall upon, and many believe that the blew of the axe ought to be postponed for longer than two years. Nevertheless, when it examines the patience with which University Hall treats the deliquents, the Council cannot reasonably ask for less discipline, unless it favors no discipline...
...debate in the Senate then degenerated into the sort of thing that occurred among the builders of the Tower of Babel: the arguers could no longer speak one another's language. In Republican language Senator Vandenberg's figures meant that reciprocal tariff agreements were putting the U. S. on the road to bankruptcy.

It is a wave motion and the longer the glacier, the longer it takes to reach the foot. Scientists pooh-poohed a man named Lawrence Martin when he declared right after the Alaskan earthquake of 1899 that it would set a whole string of coastal glaciers in motion years later. He made up a time-table for each glacier...
