...Microcosmographica Academica" as the art of completely deceiving one's friends without ever wholly deceiving one's enemies. And books which at this date canvas again and again the responsibility for the War, particularly the question of inter-allieddebts, may in most cases be justly suspect of propagandist aims, even though it be the misfortune, and not the intention of the author, if his propaganda deceives his friends rather than his enemies. Frederick Bausman purports to be the friend of the American people, as a loyal American himself. And yet if his book be believed by his friends the Americans...

It is a question whether the faculty at Harvard has made the fullest possible use of these tools. Certainly eminent although some of its individual names undoubtedly are, there is at the University no thriving school of modern investigators, and most of its great achievements have been...

He would never have had the patience-even granting the mental ability-to acquire Newton D.'s learning, trained wit. Nor could he, like Newton D., have spent nearly all his life in one state. Raymond T. Baker is one who craves excitement glorified by achievement...
