...freshman dormitories who must spend his college years in old D Hall. Of course that will not be like living in E, or even D. But it will be bad enough. The officers of the school should certainly admit their literary limitations and offer a prize for names. Luchre, Mammon, Rimmon, all of these are excellent. Or one could use the names of great captains of industry, Ford, Pinkham, Swift. Indeed there are all manner of delightfully apt names to adorn letter heads with.

Then the Field Marshal President is become a danger for the national will. His name does not belong under this treaty. That at least does he owe to his fellow-warriors. We expect the Field Marshal not to sign but to fight...
