Logical argument, of course, is a particularly inefficacious mode of attack against anything so completely irrational as American censorship. The only way to stop definitely and forever the gyrations of our censors is to concentrate the weight of public opinion upon them; since they are hardened, by the very nature of their work, against derision from the masses, the only feasible method of getting at them is through the courts. Judge Woolsey has it in his power to set a valuable precedent, and to make more difficult the way for the semi-moronic individuals who watch over the public morals...
Though these exhortations for a sentimental revival may smack of preparatory school editorial propaganda, it is a deplorably true and serious commentary on our present mode of college life. Purchase of a Yale song Book ought to prove a worthy investment...

We editors like ice-cream, in moderate quantities...

It would be very depressing indeed if "Winter in Davos" were really the best story Hound and Horn cajoled from its competitors, for its mode is transparent and its sentiment intolerably jejune.

...leading article in the November issue of Harper's is entitled the "Supreme Court and the New Deal." It is one of the most interesting and stimulating of the speculations which the moves of the NRA have induced, and in its original mode of attack, it is sure to attract attention from many classes. Mr. Hitchell commences by pointing out the evident fact that the success of the NIRA depends on the decision of the Supreme Court, when that body is eventually faced with a test case. He then proceeds to discuss the philosophy, life, and opinions of the judges...
