...trying to live up to expectations ever since. Perhaps he may have seemed a trifie too persistent in his efforts, but a consideration of the obstacles to be overcome (cf. Thomas Edison and others) should persuade us to be lenient in our judgements. The whole thing is so obviously unfair; there should be a set of rules established. Running graduates through the gauntlet is becoming a most alarmingly "catch-as-catch-can" sport, or, in another metaphor, a case of dog eat dog. An S. P. C. G., now, might also help out. After all, the graduate has been taught...
...sensationalism and horror of which we have never been aware". He has accomplished what he set out to do. These mangled dramas are thrilling and horrible to an unusual degree. But beside being selected from a very special field of the drama of Japan, they give a very unfair picture of oriental life. In each of the five plays the prime minister is dissolute, carrying on an illicit and brutal love affair with a Gelsha girl: In no one of them does the scene get far away from the parlor of a Gelsha house.

His reports from the first have been highly opinionated and often unfair; he has shown an exaggerated sympathy for Germany and Russia, with an equal antipathy toward France. The London Daily Mail, for which he was writing, has come to the conclusion that it it is both bad policy, and poor taste to publish such sentiments, and has told him plainly that...
Such unwarranted favoritism must impress those Phi Beta Kappa men to whom the principle of equal opportunity appeals with the feeling that disparity of this kind is both gross and unfair. Surely, they say, an intellectual society ought not to be subjugated to such humiliation nor be so undervalued. Fortunately, as the hero of this incident points out, for every problem there is a solution. In order that Phi Beta Kappa may enjoy equally with other organizations the respect of the law, let the first forty policemen of every city be elected to membership. Immediately a brotherly affection will spring...
