...produce a rich purple dye. This plant may have been one of the sources of supply of purple dye obtained by the Greeks. A second uncommon plant which we came across was the barilla, the leaves of which glisten as though make of ice. From it the gatherers obtain soda. Specimens of a large, black, spider, is lycosa ingens were found. This spider is smaller than the Cuban tarantula and notable for its coal blackness...

Genuinely worried he seems to be; not by the controversy, but by the apparent imminence of Prohibition.

The hero, who, though an Irishman, is not a villain, goes to Heaven and completes a terrestrial romance with the soda-fountain lady of his dreams. Such is the plot, by far the least interesting part of the story. Much more important is a poetic, and even mystic, conception of great magnitude; every man's Heaven is a reflection of his Earth. Thus, Lorenzo the Magnificent beholds the dwelling of God as a vast, shining palace; the Egyptian slave beholds it as a sanctuary...
That Harvard offers to the student less opportunity for what is commonly called "social life" in a narrow sense is obviously true. The hilarious mutual congratulation growing out of the coincidence that youths, seeking a classic education, buy soda water at the same drug store, and listen to the same lectures on architecture or biology, is less obstreperous than elsewhere. So far as I am aware, there is little, if any, of the kind of college life typified by the guitar with the blue ribbon and the felt flag bearing the name of Alma Mater in large white letters.
