...second the motion that we invite a professed non-radical to "mouth his doctrines"--is that correct--at Harvard. May I also suggest that when a speaker as interesting as Mr. Humphries is found to sustain the other side, we refrain from attributing to him unpopular sentiments about American government; from indignant letters demanding his suppression; from veiled editorials suggesting that he is "not the sort of man"; from abusing him indiscriminately as a "subtle propagandist" and a "credulous sentimentalist;" and from the argumentum ad hominem generally.

...common to the respiration of both parties. Simply standing near a person who has influenza while he talks to you is dangerous, and that danger is markedly increased if during the conversation he sneezes or coughs. Sneezing and coughing, and only to a lesser degree talking, convey from the mouth of the infected person minute particles of moisture laden with disease germs which float about in the air and presently you breathe. It may, therefore, readily be appreciated why during an epidemic, it is wise to avoid crowded places like street cars, churches, theatres and movies...
