...Democratic Party to its emblem, the rooster, so far less noble than the eagle, at least endowed with courage and the love of fair play, is decidedly shaky. It has been standing for obstruction, destruction and disturbance. Of late it has been reveling in abuse, calumny and slander of the dead as well as of the living, so its own skirts have proved to be less clean than those of the party it has been attacking.

...boil which has been festering in the side of Princeton for years has at last burst, covering the whole body with its disgusting discharge. Never have conditions during Bicker Week been as revolting and degrading as those of the last four days. Slander, gossip, and mud-slinging have been the rule instead of the exception.

Men were passed or rejected in a manner that would make the gorge of any decent man rise. But even...

...Slander the Woman. The opening title explains that Yvonne Demarest is a noble young girl to whom honor is dearer than life itself. Those who remain after reading that deserve all they...
