...After such a series of primitives, sometimes merry but always extravagant, we may well return to life as we know it or at latest to the realm of a disciplined and central imagination. Even should it choose to disregard the perplexity of a bewildered public, the Dramatic Club would seem to owe to its members the opportunity to show that they are not really morons, even though they have acted the part for the last several productions. Situated with both cast and academic audience able and ready to grasp subtlety of characterization and of plot, it is to be hoped...
...most startling shift involved Putnam, veteran quarterback. In yesterday afternoon's long scrimmage and signal drill, the regular field general was given a try at left halfback. This shakeup seems to have been caused by the failure of Gilligan, who has started all games in this berth, to show any marked improvement.

Not one, but three...
...concerns a real political union, the consideration of the many race antagonisms, the lingual differences, the varieties of organization, the differences of interest; all these seem to me to make the plan seem to be nothing further than a high conception, not to be carried out definitely until some period in the far distant future. It is only a beautiful ideal towards which the world can progress; for the tremendous difficulties, cultural, religious, and historical, seem too great to be overcome during the present...
