Given the very real demands for his services in our society, there is no reason why the young lawyer should not follow Lord Coke and make meum and tuum his favorite words rather than the vocabulary of social science." --Former Harvard Professor Judith N.

...such as the Hoosier farmer, who take the magazine because they like to read Latin, not because they have to. He tries to make each issue lively rather than pedantic. The jokes tend to be lame: Primus: "Noah Webster optime Anglice locutus est." Se-cundus: "Ego quoque possem, si meum proprium dictionarium scripsissem."* But the fiction sometimes has its excitement, e.g., a recent story entitled Cadaver Absens (The Missing Corpse). Although many prospective advertisers (books, crayons, even liquor) have expressed interest, Warsley has held to a no-advertising policy; he thinks that ads might lower the magazine's tone...
...Vadum Fractum, lascivi suboles gregis, iterum aestuat! Musae quidem Plautinae alto de caelo Cantabrigiam descenderunt; Risus Ludus Iocusque ubique vigescunt. Tempestas nobis arridet. O ver Plautinum! O collegium Harvardianum, nuper modestum morum bonorum praesidium, nunc vividum alacris motus gymnasium!

A roar rose from the Square, before the Cardinal could conclude: . . . "Pacelli, qui sibi nomen imposuit Pium Duodecimum." At this news that the new Pope, Eugenic Pacelli, Secretary of State and Cardinal Camerlengo, had taken the name of his predecessor and mentor, the crowd set up a hum and buzz.

...deep effects. . . . People say the Catholic religion is no longer the Catholic religion, but is politics, and this pretext is taken to justify a persecution. . . . This is the same accusation made against Jesus Christ when he was dragged before Pontius Pilate. . . . We can reply as Jesus Christ did . . . Regnum meum non est de hoc mundo [My kingdom is not of this world]. We are not in politics. We live and work not for politics but to render testimony to the truth and teach the truth-truth that the world appreciates so little and for which it cares so little...
