...Prussianized aggressive government that has shown a continued disrespect for the traditional rights of belligerents and neutrals alike. It would seem idiotic not to be able to conclude from these two statements the obvious course of action for this country. Yet many of us feel that a mere declaration of war is all that is necessary to regain our national honor and make us a glorious ally of the Entente. Naturally, this step will give a certain amount of moral support to the Allies, but real war is not composed of moral support alone. The man who stands with arms...
...undergraduate. Words with such deep military significance as "Crimson," "grades" and "deturs" will, of course, have to be omitted. Announcements in the courses on perspective, gas analysis, theory of design, class Martial, the canon (and fugue) and Bacon will no longer appear in the notice column. A mere glance at the Faculty will show how impossible it will be for many members to have their names in the front-page write-ups. Professors Baker, Post, Chase, Ropes, Lake, Graves, and Ford, for example, will have to be satisfied with temporary obscurity. What if the commissary officer should see Professor Frankfurter...
...argue a necessary absence of sincerity. For, besides the two sorts of sincerity mentioned by this editorial writer as possible in art--the sincerity born of experience and that born of imagination--there appears to be a third, the sincerity, namely, which is born of a delight in mere making and shaping. This delight and this sincerity are of a lower order certainly, but they are prerequisite. Romeo chants his real love for Juliet in the noble language he has learned in sonnetting the shadowy Rosaline. Romeo's creator strikes out that noble language clear and true only after long...
...Mere artifice will carry one farther in verse than in prose. Perhaps this is why one finds the verse in this number somewhat more interesting than the stories. Whether it indicates a change of editorial policy or not, the absence of vers libre is worthy of comment. Most of the verse is in stricter forms and Mr. Hillyer even turns back the clock of the years to write a very dainty and winsome triolet...
...should not allow our partiality for the cause of the Entente so to obscure our vision as to induce us to accept as valid wholly sophistical distinctions based on mere surface factors. Critics of Germany's submarine warfare constantly stress the fact that, whereas Great Britain's Orders in Council result merely in financial loss to the United States, Germany's warfare, on the other hand, is aimed at the lives of American citizens. Let us examine, for a moment, this contention. Germany declares, to be sure, that the lives of Americans entering the recently established war zone are thereby...
