Reason: "Democracy will become the political salvation of the race, if and as it is voluntarily embraced by non-democratic peoples and adapted to their respective conditions, but never if it is made a pretext for an attempt at enforced conformity...
...position of the Masters in regard to the Stadent Council's proposal for an inter-House dance committee has been misunderstood.

The contributions of William Carlos Williams, Djuna Barnes, and Horace Gregory are less than shamefully insignificant. Marya Zaturenska's "Organ, Harp, and Violin," a palpable parroting of Dryden's "song for St. Cecilia's Day," combines with a host...
