...friends at Yale too. I know a lot of high toned people because only yesterday I took a picture of Ethel Baltimore who is a very classy actress and is now playing on Broadway in a new show which it is called "Delicatessen." You should see her in the sad parts where she cries so that you would think that the show was losing money instead of going...
...accounts in the book is a long article on the "Burial of Mr. Football" in the year 1861, when the annual Sophomore-Freshman rush was forbidden by the Faculty. An excerpt from the account is printed: "Dearly Beloved: We have met together upon this mournful occasion to perform the sad office over one whose long and honored life was put to an end in a sudden and violent manner.

History, however, shows that every great period of war has been followed by an age of materialism and selfishness. The Civil...
...only too sad a fact to be denied that a college diploma and law school certificate will not insure the legal profession against crooks. Hence the raising of educational standards would not dispell the universal suspicion of the profession. But there is one thing that will always appeal to the man who does not stop to reason. Offer to give him something for nothing and you will at once gain his confidence. It is in this way that free legal aid is going to serve the double purpose of purging the profession of its taint, and at the same time...
