...statement is not meant to suggest that the sole function of the tutor is to prepare people for examinations or that examinations cannot be passed without tutorial aid. It indicates rather that one who avoids effort in his tutorial work is not likely to be sufficiently interested in his subject to work independently (this particular student had already failed once before). I believe that the tutor's first duty is to aid the student to obtain a grasp of his subject as a whole, which, sordidly speaking, means passing his divisionals... There is no reason why a tutor cannot help...
Raising herds of reindeer is almost the sole business of nomad Lapps. Illiterate and uncivilized, they make little or no distinction between Norway, Sweden, Finland and Russia, roam the extreme northern wastes of those countries which they call "Lapland." When winter comes adult nomad Lapps have a persistent habit of getting dead drunk for months at a time, leave to their hardy children the task of feeding the reindeer. When two Lapp men fight in earnest-and if they fight at all it is generally in earnest-the victor is apt to make a eunuch of his foe. Last week...
...music for last week's operetta and stood in the pit to conduct it was just as familiar to the Viennese audience as the romantic Viennese story.

It does not matter whether or not Germany can historically be accused for sole guilt for the actual outbreak of the War. Nothing can exonerate Germany from responsibility and any thought of whitewashing the Imperial government would be ludicrous. There is no question that the philosophy of the Prussian military caste was a barbarous one, and that it was expressed in a particularly brutal...
...sharp "How" broke in on his thought. Whence came this white-haired intruder who braved double vengeance, so the Vagabond hoped, with his crass "Don't you think. . ." A sole invasion, perhaps. But no. There was the seedy individual who whined it down his long spectacle bestridden nose; there was the impeccable curlyhead, doubtless a Freshman, who wheedled; there was the lumpy cherub who peeped. The pack...
