...father, to whom reference is made, made a very complete interpretation of the entrancing work of art referred to. His (your) statement is probably based on a perusal of the small published brochure, result of a lecture given by my father in New York in 1878, and in no manner complete. I regret that the complete manuscript passed out of my hands when I was a mere boy, at the time of my father's death in 1899. My complete edition of my father's works remains in abeyance until it can be found. E. E. VALENTINI...
Last March, its directors, ardent TIME readers, recognizing the superiority of your style of news writing, published a new Clarion modeled after TIME the weekly newsmagazine. Students delighted in the manner in which even the most remote news was transformed to a crisp, subtle article...

As all my auditors knew, I had already perfected such beam-projection for directive radio communication. Last fortnight I received a postoffice certificate for shortwave 'beam' stations connecting England and Canada (TIME...
...only victim of student riots. The Sailing University, aboard the S. S. Ryndam, evidently also has its off-shore moments and they are not according to the authorities of divers foreign ports, of the mildest nature. In Tokyo the studious young wanderers disported themselves in a manner deemed both boisterous and annoying; reports from the barrooding were of extraordinary business and from the police of grievous wounds to their civic dignity." No "official actions" was taken and presumably the University continues to swim its way around the globe, trusting in the triumph of mind over matter and in the hope...
