...that most significant of all ways--interest and reputation. The Press Club could not have been founded at a more appropriate time. There could be no more fitting time and no period in which it is more necessary that the University should have a fair representation before the nation than that in which she now finds herself. Just now, when every sign points to expansion and further capacities for service, it behooves every one of us, in the first place, to recognize the signs of the times and, in the second, to lend the University heartiest support in this critical...

The only possible way to stop this mad race of nations apparently trying...
...over his own land, Mr. Tagore is greeted as the poet of the nation, as the maker of a new era in literature. But behind all his writings, there is a well-developed system of philosophy which none of his readers fails to notice. It is a religious philosophy and inspires a sense of beauty and a moral robustness that only a religious philosophy can inspire. But poet and philosopher as he is, Mr. Tagore's interests are never divorced from life. His lyrics, dramas, short stories, and essays--all are concerned with the daily problems of life...
