...progressive organization is, too, possessed of an unfortunate type of speaker, (one exception proved the rule) hardly felicitous of accent or manner. Until the group offers men a bit more representative of the student body as a whole, serious attention will surely be withheld. As for the M.M.C. & M.C., Lucius Beebe sends his best congratulations on "esprit de corps." And as for the NSL, try, try again. A weekly mass meeting would be welcomed by friend and foe of the Cause, alike. Hyde Park redivivus promises instruction and amusement for young and old. And let the watchword...
...universally agreed upon. Emotional appeals, however, can never answer the question. Future wars will be averted only when the young men who are used for fodder refuse to follow the martial music and stubbornly demand that differences arising between nations be settled in a more rational, civilized manner.

But the American Banker discovered that instead of lending more freely in the best Jones manner, the Jones bank had substantially increased its cash and Government bond holdings until it was more than 80% liquid. Loans & discounts had actually decreased. The Jones bank was rock-sound but apparently it had found good borrowers as scarce as any non-Jones bank in the land...
...volume is incoherent, over-expanded, the pictures of contemporary life are a dismal failure and after having finished the book the reader is of the opinion that Mr. Wilson had a great fund of information about an interesting subject but that it has been unfortunately presented in a manner that makes the volume valuable only through a few isolated passages...
