...blue-book phrases-and pen-point terms of the undergraduate are rendered useless; in fact, he might have slept through all his brain fresh. Neo-platonism, Transcendentalism, and all the other pat lecture-room labels go by the board--to drag them into a psychological test would only prove that he had not "the brains he was born with". Nor is the graduate better served. Experience, practice in practical affairs, greater maturity get him no more than a gentlemanly "satisfactory" when he competes with his children or grandchildren...

...mouse, the fashion-model, and the king all have borne their three thousand winters without signs of old age. They were found as they had been left, connecting links between the ages, to prove that ancestors are not far different from contemporaries. There will be nothing incongruous in the appearance of the modern debutante in a dress made of Tutankhamen silks. "Luxorian models are all the rage, and the Pharoahic skirt is destined to appear at Palm Beach and the Copley." And wives of the future may adopt the "Ankhsenpaten smile...
