...editorial writer's attitude is more easily understood, though, as we read on. For much of his understanding of college life seems to be based on Fitzgerald's dubious masterpiece. "This Side of Paradise"! May 'we venture to hope that he does not read that "embittered analyst's" latest work. "The Beautiful and the Damned", and with the same supreme confidence in "Scotty", turn misanthrope--as convinced of the fundamental depravity of all mankind as he now is of the degeneracy of Princetonians! --"The Daily Princetonian...
...must be understood that while I was in college I had no affiliations with the Lampoon beyond the subscription list, so my personal feelings are untroubled by Mr. Code's tirade.

...manufacturing situation however, presents a different aspect. The main feature is the sharp fall in prices beginning in the spring of 1920 which was accompanied by an equally sudden drop in the output of manufactured goods. This decline can be fully understood when it is stated that the period January-October 1921 is to the same period in 1920 as 79 is to 108. But notwithstanding this decline in output there has been an increase of 21 per cent in shipments, showing that this extra shipping must have come from the manufacturers surplus.
