Intelligent and tolerant minorities, however, existed in the United States in the early days of the nineteenth century, and they exist in Germany now. It is idle to rail against the German people, in Bishop Manning's fashion, and wonder how Goethe or Schiller could be reconciled to the illiberalism of the Nazi party. Criticism on such grounds becomes merely sanctimonious, for the evil is not in the whims of any represented majority, but in the fact that modern democracies have insufficiently represented minorities. Were the less numerous and more enlightened factions to have true proportional representation in the United...
Thanks to a willing House Master and an energetic and sociable tutorial staff Kirkland House has been well organized intellectually. If the Houses are to exist by more than mere name, it will be possible only through the tutorial system. Without a doubt the tutorial system is the backbone of everything the Houses represent.

Industrialism, depersonalizing human relations, "has aborted 'Americanism' as an ideal and has thwarted workers as individuals." Constitution-worship, Fascism, Communism spring not from hope but from fear. Since societies exist only by the consent of their members, a withdrawal of consent (as in the case of Prohibition) nullifies society's laws and purposes. The history of the U. S., thinks Kallen, "is the history of an unremitting warfare in behalf of Individualism as a self-conscious way of life, with...
