...self-evident that the market value of the Bible is no indicator of the efficacy of religion. The Bible has established itself so firmly as literature, that its sale would continue even if no one regarded it as the mouthpiece of religion. Furthermore, its practical advantages are manifold: it is a recognized token of respectability for household libraries; it is used, in certain "de luxe" editions, for family records of birth, marriage, and death: it is part of the paraphernalia of oaths in court, and it is issued wholesale by benevolent societies to grace the bureaus of hotel bedrooms...

It thus is more than merely a convenient place for exhibiting individual works of art; it embodies in itself the totality of the manifold art tendencies, typical specimens of which it shelters; it introduces the visitor into the spiritual atmosphere from which the art of the various periods has sprung...

...tribute paid by the Senior class to Richard Perkins Parker '22 by dedicating its album to his memory is the most unusual which has been rendered a Harvard undergraduate for a long time.

During that spring he served on the Freshman dinner committee and was also assistant business manager of the Red Book. The following fall he was elected Secretary-Treasurer of the class, was a member of the Second Football...
...university president must be a man of a rare and manifold genius, and in return for his talent he is awarded a prestige such as few men can claim. He wields a great influence, not only over the affairs of the day, but especially over those of the future, for the education of the leaders of the coming generation is under is guidance. The fact that American university presidents have always been men of surpassing worth is not the least important factor in the country's progress. Cornell will be more than living up to this tradition when she inaugurates...
