...George Frederick Gundelfinger has at last advanced upon Harvard and the "vaunt-couriers" of his prolific pen have arrived in the shape of that now famous pamphlet, "Why the Bulldog is Losing His Grip." From a hasty glance at his opening fire-works, it appears that "Gundelfingery" has forced its way to the fore against tremendous odds. With a complete spy system among New York publishers, an underground railway of insidious rumors at the college, and a stiff resistance among the college papers, Yale managed to keep his great book, "The New Fraternity", still in manuscript; in manuscript until...
Lord Alfred published in a pamphlet an article entitled: The Murder of Lord Kitchener and the Truth About the Battle of Jutland and the Jews. An excerpt from this document reads: "I made a definite charge against Winston Churchill in Plain English, a newspaper now defunct. I stated that a large sum of money was given him by the late Sir Ernest Cassel after he had issued what is admittedly a false report of the Battle of Jutland...
...original stock exchange sheet of the Boston Stock Exchange from 1866 to 1919, unlisted stocks of the stock exchange from 1890 to 1913, Boston Curb from 1905 to 1919. New York stock exchange sheets from 1857 to 1918 and a large accumulation of annual reports of corporations and other pamphlet material relating to securities of a century or more...
...criticism of college official publications--the "course" pamphlets--which was published in a recent number of the Alumni Bulletin is worthy of much consideration.

Undergraduates who have been at the University for a year or more, or even for a few months, form a habit of asking other undergraduates about the content of a course. Thence evolves the neo-professional informer who has every "snap" and "stiff" course at his finger-tips. For this reason...
There is no need of handing over the pamphlet to a professional advertisement writer and asking him to give it a severe injection of "pep". On the other hand it is poor policy to make the "big stick" the most apparent thing in the descriptions. It would seem feasible to print a special pamphlet for incoming freshmen with a full description of the content of each possible freshman course. The description alone will be sufficient attraction without further flourishes and furbelows or more or less veiled threats of probation...
