First it was Manchuria, then Tsingtao, and last week Shanghai. It seemed as though Japan was deliberately asking for trouble. The raid oh Tsingtao fortnight ago was apparently a feeler to see how a world busy with its own problems would react to the invasion of Chinese territory. Results were apparently satisfactory. Last week Japan repeated exactly the same formula...
...worthy to relieve Toscanini, no audience this season has waited with more curiosity to read the criticisms in next day's papers. How would the big German please Critic Lawrence Gilman, sitting languid and aloof on the left side of the house? How would spare, dry William James Henderson react to him? Or Olin Downes, sitting a few rows behind Henderson?

However it seems likely that in future ages it will be increasingly difficult for the reader to discern the melody in the chaos of images flitting across the character's brain. It must be admitted that...
...individualism creed of the colleges. Quite rightly, we believe, he absolves the schools and their emphasis upon spirit from blame, for the college reaction. It is a characteristic fostered by men of college age, independent of school training to disregard as superfluous all community interests which do not react to the immediate satisfaction of the individual. Dr. Abbott writes, "let us stick to the old order, if so-called individualism is going to bring to pass the current state of disinterestedness and selfishness in our colleges...
