...thing I still dislike about TIME is your attitude towards Bernarr Macfadden. I know that his physical culture ideas have done much good in countless cases. They are essentially sound. What if he does make money from such magazines as True Stories, True Romances, etc. ? Why attack his doctrines of physical fitness on that account? You will say: Because he is intolerant of materia medico, and bacteriology. After all he could not be more intolerant of these than is Morris Fishbein of everything outside the province of the M. D. And yet you continually glorify Fishbein...
...employing the obvious emotional devices of religion in a commercial play. He has used the correspondingly obvious emotional devices of war in The Enemy and will probably reap vast rewards. To one practiced in the Theatre or toa layman fastidious in the matter of emotional stimuli, it will sound like the cry of wolf, wolf. And, curiously enough, Mr. Pollock is said to believe that he is a great evangelist of human faith and progress. Probably such a belief is necessary to such a play. Without faith one cannot be furiously one-sided...
...issue at Wisconsin: the regents' resolution to accept no more endowment funds from incorporated educational foundations (TIME, Aug. 17, Oct. 26). But Dr. Frank has only just gone on the scene.

I feel the only person worth bothering about is a Realist. [Conservatism, liberalism and radicalism are] three air-tight...
...appreciation of the other. Gilbert was, I think, the greatest come poet of the language, Sullivan was an accomplished composer, without compare in his particular field. Together they rose to heights that would have been unattainable for each single. Gilbert and Sullivan were the perfect union of sense and sound. Sullivan's music matches wit for wit, and gibe for gibe, with Gilbert's book and lyrics. There is not a note which is not in harmony with the spirit of the words; not a lyric or a verse which does not tell the story. In Gilbert and Sullivan...
...leading position is given to an article by Walter D. Edmonds, Jr., called "The Gum-Didderators of Football." Besides the tocsin sound of the title, the author provides a further alarum by the use of "jugglingatoriums" in the third paragraph. The problem of the importance of the game of football in the program of American higher education is a vexed one; Mr. Edmonds' distinguishing contribution to the discussion is a decree that "big" games are all right--because they have some part in the prevention of hardening of alumni arteries but that they should be kept among friends and neighbors...
