...nine of the 11 institutions that have more than five alumni in Congress are state universities. Note also that such great universities as Princeton, Cornell, Columbia and Pennsylvania have only three representatives each, or no more than several of our smaller New England colleges can boast. The figures perhaps prove little, but they have a very real interest, and we get a vivid impression that college friendships, as well as college intellectual training, count in public life when we see a picture of Speaker Clark and Mr. Mann, leader of the opposition, with their arms across each other's shoulders...
...return for the aid given the Allies by this country, for had Germany been able she would have come over to America and demanded an indemnity to help pay her huge debt, and when the war is over there will be an immense amount of evidence to prove this statement. There is absolutely no doubt but that the Zimmermann note had more behind it than was published, and there are hundreds of people engaged today in German spy work on this side of the water.

And when the Dolly Sisters dance, the last word has been said in Terpsichorean accomplishments. "Oh, how they dance." Yes, the old and rheumatic must admit that...
...Lampoon has done well to mock a tendency which has become all too general in America. The America of the "parlor snake" is not true America, and Harvard men should be the first to prove this. True art and even true social standards as well as true hearts in the trenches must help us in the eyes of Europe...
