...assassins . . . social pariahs who prey like ghouls upon the weaknesses of mankind . . . filthy parasites." Fred Lundin, onetime crony and mentor of Mr. Thompson, now backing Dr. Robertson said: "My only answer to Thompson for calling me a rat and his other vile and untruthful references is that for a period of eight years he lived most of the time at this rat's house and was willing and eager to gnaw at this rat's table...
...lodestar of U. S. journalism, announced that it has passed another high mark. In 1912 the Times passed 200,000; in 1918, 300,000.

But with two out in the ninth William Ullman '27, University second-sacker, made a high throw to first, drawing J. E. Tobin off the cushion. Two pinch-hitters were rushed into the breach, and each responded with a clean single. Jenkins, Terrier backstop, faced crowded bags and drove...
...position which might have been transferred wholly from some cheap melodrama, but she conducts herself as regards her dilemma with the primitiveness of a Sherwood Anderson creation, not only challenging the world but challenging it with a barbaric splendor. Likewise with the tone of the entire book; its actual period is the nineties of the last century but its spirt and menner are those of the most militant modernists. If Miss Sinclair could have subdued her intensely feminine treatment in the interests of a better rounded and more sympathetic whole she would have a finer piece of work...
