...Even the most optimistic of labor's friends will hardly agree with Mr. Kelly that "if the owners cannot operate the plants the workers will." They may succeed in North Carolina--and they may not. Most persons agree that labor and capital must continue to be partners, each dependent on the other. Yet even the failure of the iron workers in their experiment will bring partial success: for both sides in dispute will have learned to know each other. Capital will have learned that workmen are human beings interested in management and profits; labor, that a twenty percent reduction...
...magic of those two words--Christmas vacation--the University suddenly becomes a place of desolation. The Yard is a deserted village of silent houses, without even the rude clanging of the ever-zealous bell in old Harvard to break in upon its unnatural quiet.

What more adventurous than to spend five years in the far-away North of the world, and then return with amazing information after all hope had been given...
...modern Marco Polo has to seek far for adventure, even among the Eskimos, he has one great advantage over the Venetian of six centuries ago. When he returns with his records and instruments, the world cannot indulge in laughter as it used to do. The explorer of today receives his just reward. The Union offers a rare treat in the opportunity to hear Mr. Stefansson, who is recognized in his true worth as the world's greatest scientist-explorer...
