...moments wait, and then, two objects fell from his steady fingers. The size of one was many times the other, and yet, as they sped past the pillared balconies, the waiting men below observed their speed to be the same, then with resounding thud, they fell simultaneously to the soft grass below, landing as one object. The outspoken comments of the gathering rose to loud clamor at this feat of nature. Should a heavy body fall faster than a light one?

Thousands of housewives bought thousands of packages of Ivory Snow, of Supersuds or of Rinso, last week, with never a thought of who made those incipient soap bubbles, much less how they were made.

Colour is handled with perfect taste and design is thoroughly personal. Unlike so many of the moderns who imitate the great French masters...

Such beliefs, held by the officials of the University, have not only made the publication of the Confidential Guide pamphlet possible but have also made such expressions of opinion the normal course of events at Harvard. Yet the Alumni Bulletin, which portrays Harvard in soft tones to its graduates, criticizes this right when we apply it directly to the courses listed in the catalogue...
