...careful, thoughtful essay on "Syndicalism" by G. Seldes follows. Is it really necessary to make a somewhat involved subject less attractive by use of a heavy Latin vocabulary and sentences lacking ease? Surely the subject still needs in a publication like the Monthly persuasive presentation if it is to win readers, and here the style rebuffs rather than attracts...

This spirit of "never mind the chances, fight!" has been characteristic of Harvard teams this year and is a spirit that will carry us far toward future victories.
