...when the valiant defenders were rejoicing that the German advance had been stemmed, and her great war-machine broken, she brought up, without warning, without boasting, her terrible siege guns, each drawn by nineteen tractors, and planted them where they could crush the ring of forts.

Nowhere, however, does a heretic find shorter shrift than in an American university, so, particularly at this time when orthodoxy in word and deed has been raised to a mystic religion, there will be few to weep the Monthly's temporary demise. Yet Harvard sorely...
