...blame for the maladjustments that occur only too often in the case of students in any college of today has been laid on many and varied doorsteps. The colleges themselves have been criticized, both for not being liberal enough to the earnest scholar and at the same time not strict enough with the slacker. President Lowell last year arraigned the preparatory schools for sending their graduates on to the higher institutions improperly trained. Athletics, extra-curriculum, activities and social diversions have all come in for their share of the responsibility. In an article in the current Atlantic Monthly quoted elsewhere...
Rarely used are these ancient and musty Federal statutes because most murders occur within the jurisdiction of a State, most murderers are executed by the people of a State. But last week under them 120,000,000 people-everybody in the U. S.-joined together in their might and majesty and put to death a Federal murderer near Fort Lauderdale, Fla. It was grim business. On Aug. 7, 1927, James Horace Alderman, fond of being called "King of the Rum Runners," was navigating his liquor-laden craft some 35 miles off the Florida east coast when overhauled by Coast Guard...

Nouns are always capitalized no matter where they occur. "Mein" is singular but must agree with the plural of the modified noun in number, "Herren." You are giving yourself repeated boxes on the ears with such expressions...
...aquiver with excitement. On the night before the big Red drive, few if any of them got any sleep. Brig.-General Cornelius Vanderbilt, commanding the 154th Brigade of the New York Guard, waited bravely for the attack at the Wrightstown-Lakewood crossroads. When along toward dawn it did not occur, he rolled up in his blanket and took a 60-minute catnap on the roadside...
