...classic shades of Milton's "Samson Agonistes" and Saint-Saens' "Samson and Delilah" will have a difficult time adjusting themselves to the ribald ghosts of this most recent characterization of the deliverer of the children of Israel. In fact, "Samson" stands in a fair way to be a literary pariah because of its uncompromising frankness and defiance of the literary code of ethics. If someone questions the ethical importance of the modern novel, the least any reader can say is that Mr. Washburn displays a diabolical clever less in the thin veneer of coarseness he spreads over his famous plot...
...object to the "Professional Tutor' (why so called? Tutors in Harvard College are equally professional and, in many cases, quite as efficient) solely on one ground--his rates are exorhitant. His services are acknowledged to be of great value and often essential; his prices alone mark him as a Pariah...
...discover great spaces in one of that newspaper's last week's editions given over to Mrs. Augusta E. Stetson. To orthodox Christian Scientists Mrs. Stetson, for 35 years the close friend and co-worker of Mrs. Mary Baker Glover Eddy, has been a renegade, a pariah.

The Report of the Harvard Student Council Committee on Undergraduate Clubs is, therefore, advisable only in one respect--and that is the light...
Could an alliance of these "pariah countries" be cemented, India would be so seriously threatened that the continuance of British dominance there would be out of the question. Obviously, the British Isles without India are a factory robbed of its best market and source of raw materials. Therefore it was at London that the doings of Ministers Tewfik and Tchitcherin were watched most anxiously last week. In England it was felt that the understandings known to have been arrived at by British agents with the Shah of Persia would prove a bulwark in that quarter...
