...right ideas and failed to apply them; Lenin, who had the wrong ideas and failed to apply them; and Lloyd George, who had no ideas and applied them vigorously. America's estimate of the Welsh Wizard has been generally higher than this opinion; but if there is truth in the paradox, it is easy to see which of the three has been most successful. Wilson has been repudiated; Lenin is an emblem of chaos; Lloyd George continues undisturbed at the head of a powerful empire...
...students of Harvard who found themselves temporarily bed less and homeless this year in Cambridge have entered with the eagerness for truth shown by the pupils of Abelard., or by Colonel George Lyon, 73-years of age, who has returned as a graduate student to Harvard, intending "to study as long as he lives," there will not be too many men going to college or university; that is, if a sufficient number of Abelards can be found to teach them. --The New York Times...

Possibly the ideal solution is a war memorial in the form of a foot-bridge or tunnel to the Yard. Until this is realized, it seems reasonable that the Cambridge traffic system should be brought comparatively up to date. Without interfering with traffic or much expeuse to those who watch over the city's interests, it would be possible to place four safety "islands" or zones along Masschusetts avenue...
