...Young's second assumption is based upon a very restricted faith in the human race. Human morals are not dependent upon codes and creeds to any great extent. There is something much more fundamental in human nature which leads men to strive for the good, the beautiful, and the true. All codes have sprung from this human longing, and are but imperfect formulations of it. It is a great error to exalt a code, which is a result, not a cause of morality...
...living and working in an academic and therefore respectable anarchy, in which tutors and pupils were at the mercy of each others' whims and weaknesses--a situation which engenders self-reliance if nothing else.

Twirling this combination on a fairly familiar Western axis, they revealed an hour or so of highly satisfactory amusement. Miss Bennett plays the Broadway cabaret girl transplanted abruptly to the Western hills. Her lipstick and her silks are misunderstood by the conventional natives. But they go to her cowboy's head and he marries her by force. Their stormy honeymoon is completely surrounded by a forest fire through which they...
