...Panama, last week announced he would cause a statue of Theodore Roosevelt by Sculptress Gertrude Vanderbilt (Mrs. Harry Payne) Whitney, to be erected at Culebra Cut, on the Panama Canal. It was easy to foresee that U. S. poets might seize this news as a theme with a classic precedent. The classic precedent, however, contains an error. The traveler who first stood "silent upon a peak in Darien" was not "stout Cortez" (Hernando Cortez) as sung by Poet John Keats. It was Vasco Nunez De Balboa. Poets celebrating the proposed Roosevelt statue should bear in mind that Darien...
...flirt of the red, a small but purposeful bull charged, horns down, to gore the President of Mexico. Swirling the cape through a classic "pass," he pivoted and dodged-his chunky body suddenly achieving grace. While guests Morrow and Rogers gripped their seats, President Calles brought off three more hazardous "passes."

...others the "lorgnettes" through which Yale peers foggily at Harvard. We listen to jokes in which the protagonists are Harvard men, laugh, do not seek to reason why so-and-so went there kid so-and-so for having gone there, bet on the football game, the New London classic event, win, lose, forget all about it. I should expect to find neatly pressed clothing, red neckties, large wardrobes, pocket books and imaginations prevalent among the undergraduate body. I should realize, having quit the laissez-faire atmosphere of Yale for the savoir-faire atmosphere of Harvard, my intellectual inferiority...
