...even greater than Hamlet, although it is very difficult to compare the two. It depends very much on the temperament of the actor. My own tends toward the Greek drama. The character of Hamlet is greater in scope than that of Oedipus; its philosophy is more profound and infinitely more intricate. The character of Oedipus is less complicated, less subtle. It is simple and straightforward, and for that very reason Sophocles has made it more impressive in the vastness of its emotions...
...Secretary of State Charles E. Hughes declined to participate in the conference, because France had limited the scope of the conference to Germany's " present" capacity to pay reparations (meaning what Germany can pay from now until Jan. 1, 1930).

In its search for suitable problems a subsidiary organization of the Business School was established. This was the Harvard Bureau of Business Research...
...religious or philanthropic nature in virtue of its position as an endowed institution and as a result of the donations received from undergraduates in the annual drive. It is unfortunate, however, that the undergraduate who suggests these activities should not be better informed of their character and scope. If Brooks House maintains missionaries in Syria, for example, the undergraduate whose contributions have made this possible is entitled to know the facts. He has in the past, especially if he is a Freshman, contributed--often because of social pressure--knowing only little of what he was supporting...
