...yield neither to Senator Borah not to any other man in admiration of the Farewell Address; ..... but I believe that the greatness of Washington was due to his looking the facts of the day in the face, and determining his conduct thereby, instead of by utterances, however wise, of a hundred and fifty years before." These words, written by President Lowell in answer to Senator Borah's attack on him of his lack of reverence for Washington's last official words, are irrefutable. Looking the facts in the face is what the whole world must do unless it desires...
...American college. On most of Mr. Lamont's effective plea for the Endowment Fund I am estopped from commenting; but I would like to point out how vital is the appeal lie makes for the proper equipment of chemistry and the establishment of a mobile fund. Neither the poetry nor the book reviews seem to me good. The first has real facility; but it represents that stage of development where words are more to the writer than ideas. The book reviews display too little knowledge of the subjects with which they deal; and they are too perfunctory in character...
...cannot be denied that French and English industry is in a dangerously low condition. Particularly France will need aid for many years. Neither can it be denied that the United States was engaged in war only long enough to give her industry a hearty boom.

...Prohibition is neither right in principle nor is it Christian in character. Temperance has to do with your control of yourself. It is right. It can be defended. Prohibition has to do with your control by others. It is wrong and has no defense. Temperance is self-imposed and self-enforced; Prohibition is imposed by others against your will, and enforced with a policeman's club. You can no more promote pure temperance by force than you can make love with a brickbat. Prohibition is insulting to your manhood, because it denies to you the right of self-determination...
...editorial of Tuesday, May 27th, I venture to express a prevalent opinion with regard to the CRIMSON'S attitude toward the proposed "Harvard Daily." The instinct of self-defense must, of course, have prompted the CRIMSON to reply to the severe but true attack of the Harvard Magazine, but neither instinct nor reason can excuse the weakness and evasiveness of that reply. Literary pouting and stamping of the feet not only are no defense, but argue for the truth of the opposide view. The fact that the CRIMSON enjoys a monopoly as a college newspaper is no defense...
