...spring only from the lowest motives, and must instantly stop, involves such a novel idea of popular government and such a singular conception of patriotism that serious argument about it is almost impossible. For three weeks thinking men have talked of nothing else, and there has been no stint of outspoken criticism. Unless Mr. Roosevelt has it also on hand to go on and shut up the press, the pulpit, the market-place and the clubs it can hardly be worth his while to begin with muzzling this University.

In short, the outlook is promising enough, and if all else fails, - why, Boston is only a half-hour's ride away...
...colleges and girls' boarding schools are noted as being the nurseries and hot beds of slang. Indeed, we would really think something was wanted if we did not occasionally hear a slang word or phrase in the conversation of a college student. We are, to be sure, condemned without stint by purists and over-sensative people for what they call the murdering of the English language. There are slang words which are weak, puerile, nonsensical; but there are others which express thoughts with a greater force and clearness than do any words in good repute. For example, what word...
