...ignored. Many critics agree that the inevitable result of the latest Allied demands would mulct Germany of every pfennig, destroy the small remaining value of the mark, and open the door for Bolshevism. Their opponents answer with a different suggestion. They assert that the whole affair will sour the Genoa Conference on the hands of Lloyd George, leaving him in disrepute, an opening the way for a triumphant Lenin and Wirth to come forward with counter demands quite in the manner of Stalky himself...
...phrase "patriotic pack" applied derisively and indiscriminately to you and me leaves a most disagreeably sour taste. In its current issue, the "New York Nation" comments editorially on the case of Professor James McKeen Cattell of Columbia University, who was dismissed in 1917 "without proper charges or heating, accused of 'sedition, treason, and opposition to the enforcement of the law of the United States'" Subsequently, he sued the trustees for libel and demanded the pension to which he was nominally untitled. An award of 245,000 was recently made him. It is a question, avers the "Nation", whether...
...print; this enjoyment is the only return for their trouble. Why the magazine should have been compared to "Life" I cannot see. The CRIMSON might as well be compared with the Transcript.

The whole tendency of college legislation, of late, has been to increase the burden of the student without releasing him from the petty annoyances that so often sour him. It is time to do away with a few of them. Two courses would have twice the value of four as a minimum for the senior. If the student is to be interested in his reading he must have time to be so. He cannot be while his life is one tedious examination after another...
...Russian emigres, on the other hand have not patterned after their distinguished predecessors. Quite the contrary their altitude toward the Russian debacle is essentially a rationalistic one: they are confident of Russia's future and her ultimate regeneration. Their spokesmen have evinced no sour or rancorous feeling. Baron Stein, Minister Plenipotentiary from Russia to Argentina, describes her ailment as an intensification of prevailing European unrest for which serenity of speech and spirit is the only cure; and others speak likewise. The emigres acquiesce in the belief that the nation's salvation must come from within, and, fully realizing that Sovietism...
