These two brief quotations serve sufficiently to show the spirit and the style of the work. Not the least reason why this type of history gains such a large number of readers is its lucid, clean-cut style certainly easier reading than the classically ponderous works of the older school Gibbons and Mommsen for example. Here no foot-notes are to be found, no weighing of questionable points. The author asserts dogmatically that Caesar is a scoundrel, he cites his facts, such as they are, for so thinking, and dismisses all contrary evidence as not to be taken seriously...
Little Joe, by the way, has been very unruly this week. Lie insists on telling everyone that Yale will win by three touchdowns, despite my explaining to loin the New liaren traditions of quarter back play. He sees no logical reason why a porous Harvard line becomes adamant within their own ten-yard line.

...that a modern university is not only a storehouse of past learning, but a center for the gathering of new knowledge an agency which covers the glabe, from the Amazon and the Andes to the forbidden mountains of Tibet. Berein lies perhaps the answer to those who for one reason or another have questioned, from the founding of the first university, the worth of such an institution. Of the making of many books there is proverbially and truly no end; but the making of many books is not its only function; and only the shortsighted will deny that the deciphering...
