...banks of the Loire between Meung and Orleans there is a bubbling well by which "the master" sat, and a stone table on which he is said to have written. Add a weeping willow tree, and the late great Anatole France has made a Chinese sage of Rabelais-scholarly, ruminative, hardly Rabelaisian. France sought to unroll this innocuous picture before Argentine audiences (in 1909). But the Bishops of Buenos Aires, having heard of Rabelais' earthy humor, and having heard of the impious Anatole France, denounced them both. The pious dared not listen to the dean of the Academic.

...cases have obscured. To call such a book a casebook is an egregious misnomer, and with it as the basis of instruction the "system" under which the course is conducted might be more aptly termed the "case, note and extract system."

"In consequence (the scholarships being tenable specifically for three years) there has been a tendency to look askance at any scholar who has ventured to resign at the end of his second year as at one who has let his committee down," seemed at the time of writing ample justification for the CRIMSON's stand on this point. The expression "social sin" employed by the CRIMSON was not meant to indicate that...
