...What is a Puritan?" With great emphasis we are told that the Puritan is "an iconoclast, an image-breaker". "Puritanism is an urgent exploring and creative spirit." It seems that Professor Sherman struck a snag somewhere. Would not his definition cover the men whose work he finds harmful to the formation of a real American literature?

...Tiger cubs started off the season with a string of six victories, but on April 28, they struck a snag in the shape of Blair School, finally succumbing by the narrow margin of 5 to 4. Tome, Exeter, and Peddie all overcame the Freshman in the succeeding games, and it was not until last Saturday that the nine was able to come back with an 8 to 1 victory over Penn Charter...
After this favorable start, the Crimson team struck a snag when it met Toronto. The Canadians, last year's amateur hockey champions, proved too strong for the Crimson in a brilliant overtime game.

On the next two successive Saturdays, the Princeton 1924 and Dean Academy elevens fell before the Eli cubs by the scores...
...doubt the majority of Americans desire a League of Nations, and this was never more clearly shown than in a test vote during the Senate controversy last spring, when an overwhelming majority of the members of the upper house expressed their desire for some sort of a League. The snag that is still holding them is the exact kind of a League desired. Obviously the underlying choice of the campaign is not the much touted and buffeted League, but a deeper decision on parties and leaders...
