...Whig historians, whose anti-Catholic bias is one of the disgraces of modern historiography. Unlike Messrs. Belloc and Chesterton, Mr. Dawson is imbued with the modern ideal of impartiality, and even in his attempt to secure justice for the faith he never leans over backwards into unfairness to the unjust. He is most like Mr. Wyndham Lewis--minus that historian's Gallic irony--in that he is immensely learned, how learned anybody has some opportunity of gauging by reading his "Age of the Gods" or "The Making of Europe."

...nothing to be ashamed of has nothing to hide. The Union officials and the heads of the Dining Halls may have adequate but unapparent explanations for everything which seems so distressing and unjust to the observer, But these explanations will never find sympathy with the undergraduate so long as the present timorous and unpleasant attitude toward publicity continues...

To blame either group for this breach would be unjust, for the disparity in age and interests is no unnatural barrier. But some enterprising individuals do enjoy familiarity with their tutors, and that such friendships are not more prevalent is to be regretted. The house dinner if properly handled would present a splendid opportunity to promote such contacts...
...intolerable as in the enforcement of laws. If the situation is so complicated that the entire Cambridge Police Department is unable to cope with it uniformly and generally, the fault lies with the law, and not with the situation. The surest way to kill an unfair or an unjust law is to endeavor to enforce it, an eventuality best illustrated by Prohibition. Perhaps it is this prospect that leads the city to apply the parking law to students by the crude technique of random samples...
