...have only been a resident of Cincinnati for the past two years, but in that time have come to appreciate its many splendid qualities from every point of view. There is no city in the country, in my opinion, that has a more beautiful residential district, that has a finer American born population, or that shows an equal interest in music and the fine arts as does Cincinnati. In support of this, one of the most distinguished bishops in America, a citizen of New York, recently made the statement that Cincinnati is the outstanding cultural center of the United States...

Whether or not the theory of the decline of Western culture is accepted, it must be agreed that both the Chinese and the American university will...
...unanimously in favor of the resolution, and it was all ready for passage when United States Ambassador Fletcher, whose duty it has been to puncture such ambitions, rose with a reservation to the terms of agreement, which would render it worthless from the South and Central American point of view. Both of these misunderstandings have now been laid aside, possibly as unbecoming a conference. Meanwhile, although the conference has not half accomplished its work, there is one thing upon which all the delegates, south and north, Nordic and Latin, are agreed: that the scheduled date of closing, February 20, should...
