...good act is a beautiful act," says Mr. Whitman in his "Philosophy of Beauty." This is treading on rather dangerous aesthetic ground since the word Beauty is by Definition (thought not by usage) in its own sphere.

We would not object to a sober and intellectual discussion of Russian affairs, both from admirers and critics, but we do object to unbalanced speeches from avowed propagandists...
...that was less than a year ago. Today they are relatively in a stronger position than ever before. Not only have men who served with the colors come back to them; they have attracted thousands of boys who never had thought of going to college, but whose eyes were opened by the things colleges and college men did in that great struggle...
