When the rest of us departed blithely for Boston theatres they set out resolutely for Widener, there to make themselves still more invulnerable against the inevitable examinations.

The cry that there are practical barriers to all socialistic propositions must be buried. University and socialist literature must be published throughout the land; such news as the University of Wisconsin in several of its departments has recently undertaken. The public school system and the slight democraticism of one branch of the national...
