...manner. There is entirely too much of the half-hearted, uncertain sort of judgment that says: "It seems to me," "I think," et cetera. Better far to show your colors and come boldly out with "It is," because everyone understands criticism as an expression of little more than personal opinion. The authority of it and the respect we give to it rests on the individual. Mr. Wright, then, who indeed does not hesitate to state his views with perfect assurance in his criticism of "Major Pendennis" (appearing yesterday in the CRIMSON) is to be congratulated. It is seldom that...
...necessary to understand political conditions in Colombia to grasp the the position of that country in international affairs," declared Phanor J. Eder, LL.B., in a lecture in Emerson J yesterday morning. "Colombia is practically an oligarchy. A few thousand people in the country control public opinion absolutely. Those people are very sensitive, and this must be taken into consideration in dealing with them.

But they prove the mistake of such an opinion in their work of osculation and keeping certain men guessing. Surely such things rank high among feminine arts. And when the Dolly Sisters dance, the last word has been said in Terpsichorean accomplishments. "Oh, how they dance." Yes, the old and rheumatic must admit that a trip to Ye Wilbur...
...pooling agreement between various English and German lines, the Brazilian merchant marine, especially the government line (Lloyds-Brazileiro), suddenly found itself in a very favorable position. Brazilian maritime ambitions have developed considerably during the past two and a half years, which explains the aggressive attitude of public opinion at Riode Janeiro after the inauguration of the present U-boat campaign. Brazil is, therefore, the first of the South American republics to which we may look for something more than merely sentimental co-operation in our coming struggle. In all probability we may very soon look for Brazil's entrance into...
