Shall we be Nazi men with Hitler, or start Lenin toward the five-year plan? There is a problem for the long winter nights. What shall...
Sometime this spring, or perhaps not until next year, when the students' begin to tire of the ordinary run of existence and gather in crowds on the streets, there will come marching down the avenue a parade that would do any righteous man's heart good.
