...Junior Dance is the Senior fiancee meets unusual circumstances tonight. Realizing that 1920 is leap year we are lost in conjecture, wondering how the delicate feminine intuition will avail itself of this opportunity to usurp the masculine prerogative. In the lilt of a Strauss waltz or the sensuous rythm of a fox trot the Harvard undergraduate loses that abstraction which is so noticeable in the lecture hall. He will be engulfed, a little by the soft eyes and wavy tresses of some maid, and Harvard indifference will give way to a flush of crimson color...

The style suffers a little in places from the sort of poeticizing that marred Oscar Wilde's "Poems in Prose," but is one the whole graphic and full of sensuous charm.

Instead he sets before us the radical, the conservative, and the partisan, counsels us to be none of them, and leaves us with excellent but vague advice. A "radical conservative" would, in all possibility, have ventured further...
