Perhaps the first act of the play seems of lesser consequence and lower workmanship than the rest. So also the second, due perhaps to "cutting," seems not yet to have struck the right balance between the stories of Hartwell, the leader of his people, and Hartwell, the lover of a Christian. But the third and fourth acts bring the play to an eloquent and direct intensity which holds until...
...early manhood, he has administered the affairs of this University for forty years with eminent skill and fidelity. Its vast development during his term of service has been mainly due to his rare wisdom, his strong convictions, his enterprise and his zeal.

What would be the objection to giving the Filipinos their liberty? Admiral Dewey stated that he believed them more capable of self-government than the Cubans, and yet we gave the latter practically complete freedom. Unless we do follow this plan they are likely to fight for their liberty, as has happened often before. Thus we first submitted to England and ended by gaining our liberty, although we were then but a small and weak country. The other great colonizing power of the world, England, has given Egypt a form of self-government. This is our duty; the longer...
