Here and there are pictorial groupings, interesting enough in themselves, but poorly related in the general clutter of hyper-religious abracadabra and the familiar hocus-pocus of third-rate melodrama. The mere mention of Kabala brings on thunder-and-lightning overtones; a departing soul is the signal for banging casements, flickering candles, fluttering curtains.

Thus it is at least open to question which would comprise the greatest loss to Harvard, potential fellowship and scholarship men or a potential endowed athletic program. It is unfair for the President to cast the athletic endowment into the ash barrel by failing to mention it in his report on the state of the University...
