...spite of all the protest which these statements must occasion, there is doubtless some small grain of truth in what Dean MacKenzie has to say. It is true, as he points out, that universities have classes of 400 students and that the professor sees them only two or three times a week as a group. It is inevitable that, unless special measures be taken, students must become "mere automatons". The question of individual attention is being met at Harvard in so far as is possible by the appointment of assistants and tutors. Most professors endeavor to add a "human touch...
...Evil, then, is a false belief. For every fact one may suppose its opposite lie. The sum of evil is the lie about God, universal good. This lie ceases to have recognition or place when the truth is realized. Hence Jesus, calling evil a liar, pointed out liberation, saying, 'Ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free'.

A poem contains truth, but it must contain more than mere truth, it must contain the splendor that is always upon the face of truth...
...story--it is a repetition of practices in the Mooney trial, the Centralia trial, and the prosecution of Sidney Flowers in Los Angeles. Mooney and Billings went to prison on wholly fabricated evidence; the judges in the Centralia case made rulings without a show of regard for the truth; and stool-pigeons were used in the Flowers case; one of them was lately planted in a cell next to Sacco in an effort to get him to commit himself in conversation...
