...journalistic breed: the tabloid idea is misrepresenting everything. In their desire for the graphic, the colorful, the papers are forgetting the approximation of the truth which is possible of their attainment. Heckled by moving pictures and novels the colleges are yet able to maintain their own self respect. But it is time for a period of temporary repose when the college world can for the nonce find that the world outside expects other than a circus parade every time that two undergraduates leave their college gates...
That the Graduate School is now able to further such a lifting of standards in education is most encouraging.

Too little respect has centered about those who have, in this particular tradition, followed Socrates.

In Minikin they possess a clean-up batter of no mean efficacy, for in eleven trips to the plate he has slashed out no less than seven hits of assorted sizes. Either Crowley or Beach will toe the rubber against the Crimson this afternoon, the latter having the only Springfield verdict to his credit...
