...logical conclusion indicated by this initiation of the audience into the inner circle is that the intercollegiate debate will become a forum. With the decision resting in its own hands, the audience will not be content silently to sit back and let its opinions be tossed about a half dozen young men in tuxedos. It will demand and assume a voice in the argument. This contingency will heighten the competition between the two teams by swelling the ranks of the opposition. If something of the intercollegiate flavor is lost by thus admitting the commoner, the gain is a notable...
...drilling of Boston by Mr. Sinclair has gone merrily on. If it has never gone very deep it is because the tools have been many. They have ranged from the Bookman to the Boston Traveler, and now the Forum has discovered, with Mr. Sinclair taking the melody on the slide trombone, that murders in Boston cost three thousand dollars...
Tired after the long ride from Boston in one of the Canadian night-trains that stop at many junctions, on edge after the four hard games they had just played with only one day's rest between each game, the Rangers skated into the Montreal Forum feeling that it would be hard for them to get going.

Much more urgent a matter is the policy of the opposite party, which, under the guise of protecting defenceless America from pernicious Reds, wields a powerful weapon of reaction. The same group of Bolshevik-bailers that backs the closing of Ford Hall Forum lists such names as Dean Pound, Professor Bliss Perry, and the presidents of Smith and Mt. Holyoke as dangerous, and closes to them lecture platforms in towns and clubs where the black list is law. Dungeons and the rack are no longer good form; a much more subtle toxin does...
