...institutions, that they have come to regard such turnabouts as part of modern life. While swift changes in policies and positions have been commonplace in history, they seem to have occurred in the past two or three decades with dazzling frequency.

He is hard on everybody but himself, and overlooks his own transgressions of the ideals he imposes on others. Seemingly a giant among the moral pygmies of the court life, he is the ultimate butt of Moliere's humor...
Defending champion Villanova, and cross-town rival Pennsylvania, the co-favorites, both qualified strong contingents for the finals during the first day of competition at the IC4A track and field championship at Princeton's Jadwin Cage yesterday...
