We discussed one thing and then another and I said I would write a processional. 'You must be sharp about it,' said Mr. Knowles, 'for this is Saturday and there...
This to be the last year of the booming, shouting, rollicking twenties, and seemingly to mark the peak of the boom, the Harvard Alumni Association chose as its president financial magnate J. Pierpont Morgan, symbolizing in a way what was often attacked as the American "worship of business." Hotels bought full page ads in the Crimson, advertising their "exclusive Fall Dansants," warning the wavering sophomore that "the smart folk will attend," or that "you'll find the best crowd in the college there."

Everywhere the monotony of dusty village life is once again relieved by bright processions and flower-banked shrines on religious holidays. "It's good for the heart as well as the soul," said a young peasant woman near Lowicz last week, winding a chain of paper roses around a huge roadside cross.
