The older graduates seem to be of the opinion that instead of a mature and natural social hierarchy Harvard College possesses a caste system.

The emotions of the Liberian native, his sentiments, his regard for truth, his loyalty, his conception of justice...

I cannot keep my eyes off its window-displays, its crowds of customers, its army of employees [but] public opinion in Britain is not yet ripe to approve the employment of responsible imaginative writers ... in any scheme of publicity for a commercial concern. Personally I differ from public opinion . . . but I will not flout...
