...causes for this impending collapse of our civilization is the demoralizing effect of the American motion picture upon the minds of the people of the world. Directors seem to want not only to please the public, but to educate them to the cheap things. We have reached a fine state of affairs indeed, when a bunch of ignorant movie directors try to improve upon the works of the world's greatest writers and as a result drag their masterpieces down to the level of cheap comedy. Look what they did when they put my father's famous books. "Anna Karenina...
Cambridge traffic would be helped by this improvement, most of all by the new drives on the Boston bank which would fill in the present gap between Bay State Road and Otter St. The new drive would pass under the arches of the Harvard and Longfellow bridges and would thus give a continuous road which, after crossing Cambridge St., Brighton, at the end of the River St. bridge at grade, will have no other crossing at grade until it reaches the 'end of the Charles River Dam where it connects with Nashua St., which is now being widened.

Lead by bands of leaders grinding out from hurdy-gurdies the strains of "Sidewalks of New York", a Democratic parade might certainly bestir sympathetic bystanders to sacrifice their pocket change. Such a method might overcome any financial difficulties of the party and insure Democratic forcasts for 1932, which are now overdue...
That the situation of alumni manipulated football teams which the Cornell Sun has described and deplored is generally prevalent at the large American universities is incontestable. That the present state of affairs has tended to remove a line which twenty years ago existed between student spectator and student player is likewise certain. To cite merely one aspect of the change which has come about, the denial of the privilege to watch practice sessions and the consequent necessity of reading the papers to keep posted on the daily progress of the team, have resulted in a considerably diminished interest in team...
