...Writing to various editors of various college newspapers the Executive Editor of Liberty hopes to get a synthetic, sympathetic critique of college morals with a no less heartwhole desire than the establishment of truth (vide Plato's Republic) as against opinion (vide Plato's Republic). Of course one might suspect that the Executive Editor had some less noble desire, some arriere pensee, such as answering that cry for bread and circuses. At all events, be he altruist or editor, the letter with its enclosed list of impertinent questions has been written. And concerning both letter and questions it must...
...Librarian of Congress and his musical assistants; and thus actually under the auspices of the U. S. It was the second of an annual festival begun last year. The name of the festival, however, is not "All-American" or "Bigger and Better Music Week," as one might suspect, but the Elizabeth Sprague Coolidge Festival, so-called for accuracy's sake after the extraordinary lady who built the marble temple, provided for its maintenance, inveigled Congress into accepting it as a gift to the nation, and who personally arranges the programs, invites the artists and pays them...

Nevertheless we gladly grasp the glad hand, and appreciate the sincere, if somewhat...
...Life be linked in an indissoluble bond. Teachers must make of their subjects a framework for their philosophy. A philosophy of life must be the aim of Education, and whether it result in a religious or a humanistic philosophy is of little concern to the essayist, though one may suspect from his strong classical bent that he would prefer the latter result...
