...Latin sympathy for the feelings of the "saurus", who--having since before tertiary times led a life of untrammeled prehistoric ease--is now about to be thrust among the contaminations of modern civilization. "After all" says editorial opinion, "why should the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals concern itself with the Plesiosaurus who--as his name implies--is an 'Almost-Lizzard'? May we not expect ere-long to be confronted with a Society for the Preservation of American Hop-toads, with chapters in all the public schools...
...with concern that we hear that Clark University is in a ferment because Mr. Scott Nearing's lecture was peremptorily stopped by President Atwood in the middle of its course.

His sin, though in a better cause, is of worse consequences than that of the class dodger. The latter harms...
...that escapes the noises of the workaday world by stopping its ears. We have seen too many recent examples of Harvard professors who are in the thick of the fight to be greatly disturbed when anyone accuses us of "respectability". Indeed the whole notion that colleges and their professors concern themselves soley with members of their "brotherhood" is unjustified. Strange that journals professing to lead advanced thought should not comprehend the fact that present day colleges are far too dependent for their existence upon the world of affairs to remain complacently aloof...
