...elements, become the possession of every member of a democracy, else that democracy is not a reliable one and a permanent one. The governor of New Hampshire is striking at rock bottom. What we need in this world is less remedies and more precautions. Educate the peasant and the slave and less dupery shall exist. Certainly it is too late to elevate the laborer; educate rather the child. Open wide the door of opportunity; the ability and capability, of man await only its opening. We talk of democracy, much as if we had it. To realize it is our huge...
...verily believe that it would be better for civilization to end in the Ragnarok, or 'twilight of the gods,' like ancient Valhalla, than for it to continue 'half slave and half free' with a Prussian Kaiser as the dominating influence...

Another poem deserving special mention is Mr. Cowley's "Adventurer," which has rugged force and individuality. And finally, a strong ending to the Advocate is Mr. Willcox's "A Slave." That, like Mr. Damon's "Beauty," is a "real poem," well above the usual level of undergraduate publications. These two are the best pieces in the paper. If it were a matter of awarding a prize to one of them, the reviewer would be at a loss which to choose...
