...conservative" whom he so despises. Liberalism is not the opposite of Conservatism. It is rather, a separate and highly-to-be-desired state by itself. Yet today all but the most hidebound reactionaries call themselves "liberal" and exhibit their own particular little idiosyncrasies as proof of the fact. Consequently when the delegates gather here next week to form an intercollegiate Liberal Society, they will be laboring under the handicap of a decidedly ambiguous name. Nevertheless, such an intercollegiate organization is greatly to be desired, provided that it is very careful to held to the proper meaning of the word "liberal...
...ordinary mind tell a tale of superiority? A more upstart may affect indifference, but can he "get away with if:? What is the fine outward air of indifference (we are still looking at the matter from the point of view of the ordinary observer) but a proof of aristocracy either of descent or of mind?

...college-world both thinking and talking. Since those first two numbers it has been gradually declining into a more commonplace and normal state in which it is satisfied to print the usual type of college article and story. Its first number of the present year is sufficient proof that it had forgotten the purpose with which it set out. Such titles as "The Football Team," "Harvard's Glee Club," and an article on the band show clearly that the effort was rather toward replacing the Advocate than toward establishing a separate field. Harvard can easily support two literary magazines...
