...respect the expedition has confirmed, rather than disturbed traditional accounts of American life, in that its investigations of religious life in the twentieth century corroborate with interesting details the claim of that period to be known as the Age of Faith. Perhaps the most striking feature of the time was the survival and even the re-juvenescence of the Inquisition. It was temporarily in the hands of the Methodists, and the Catholics were naturally indignant at this breach of tradition. There seems to have been general sympathy with this protest; for the Americans have always tried to be a legal...
...consolidate our financial position, as then we will be in a position to begin payments immediately. "The moratorium, in addition, will have to be a long one. It would indeed be painful if we should find our former allies wishing to place us in conditions of inferiority with respect to conquered nations."* Hindenburg.

I am anxious lest you set a bad example to our young people. I am afraid that you will break a law which I love and respect, and get us in discredit with the police. I am afraid that you will get drunk on my doorstep...
Here I might say that to my mind the greatest disadvantage of a university is the stiffing effect it has on the individual in respect to his relations with his fellows. There is none of the spontaneity of youth in Cambridge, that is to be seen on all sides in Willianstown. A friendly slapping on the back is ground for an action of battery, and to walk arm in arm is almost immoral. The playful spirit in which you live on your Rousseauistic stage is here relegated to children below the age of 14 years, and any signs of horseplay...
