...realize it. I remember very vividly just how it feels to be hungry, damnably hungry, and not warm, and wondering where to sleep. Once you've had that, you can never afterward forget that somehow or other this society has a responsibility to its weak people who can't make peace with it enough to get on. Once you've been scorched-oh, well, I sound like a socialist...
...Even Mr. Amery's pugnacity and physical courage have not succeeded in making him a popular character. ... At one of his meetings, when someone called him a 'liar,' he promptly leapt from the platform and knocked him down. . . .

Were it dissolved tomorrow, recent by-elections show that the Labor party could count substantial gains; but much may happen while Mr. Baldwin takes...
...choice of a college today is practically never made by a student because of what the college teaches or because of how the college teaches or because of who teaches at the colege. Yet somehow these considerations must be put in the forefront when the decision as to what college to choose is made. The relation between parents and students is here important. The choice of one's college in a continental system of education like the United States affords a large variety in the decision. And there should be greater systematic inquiry than there is as to the type...
