Only that morning Pilsudski had flayed the Witos Government in an interview printed by the Warsaw press. Grimly he reflected that he was still the idol of the Polish army, that most Polish soldiers subscribe to the famed remark of a nameless private: "Our Pilsudski has only to wink his eye and we will all commit anything from treason to suicide, according to his orders...
...CRIMSON'S Confidential Guide of College Courses published at the beginning of the current college year was perhaps one of the principal factors in undergraduate life which has caused many twenty, thirty, or forty-year alumni to remark. "The undergraduate of today is an entirely different animal from what he was in our day".

...imagine nothing other than exaggerations of college life similar to "Brown of Harvard" as responsble for such a remark as made the other day by a professor at Ohio Wesleyan University to the effect that the American college student of today resembles "an emotional flat tire due to over-stimulation cause by fast living." Unfortunately, as usual in these reflections, no supporting evidence is given so that any rebuttal is out of the question. All we can do is to take these cubistic portraits in the good-humor that Thomas K. Beecher said made all things tolerable. --Cornell Daily...
