...example of a man upon whom the land has made a profound impression. No one who has visited the Wessex country can fall to feel the gloom and sadness that clings to the moorland. All of his novels reflect this sombre tone, and in one the moor itself assumes a vigorous personality, becomes a definite character. Today Mr. Hersey will talk in Emerson 211 at 2 o'clock upon the Hardy Country. He has taken many new pictures during the last summer which will enlighten the provincial and refresh the memory of the cosmopolite. Mr. Hersey has the great gift...
...hard to see how I can be at one and the same time a "priest baiter" as my opponent calls me, and a candidate for the anthropoid circles of Dayton, Tennessee.

As a result, England enjoyed and still enjoys, an unsurpassed leadership in scholarship, in politics and in colonial administration, whether judged from the point of view of intellectual adequacy or personal integrity...
...should not; and this, no doubt, is all to the good. There is one of those pleasing scenes of official sadism, inseparable from any piece dealing with the gentlemen in blue which usually sends the audience off into spasms of thrilled delight, and this particular reviewer into those of profound disgust...
