...unusual, nor need foes of military training in the colleges have become excited. Louisiana State has long had a cadet corps. In 1911 Major Hodges commanded it, teaching Spanish at the same time. He is well-known in the state, having organized its militia (1915-17). Square-cut, with steel-grey hair and large brown eyes, he would doubtless be a president as popular with female undergraduates as with the cadets, whom he was to instruct in military science and tactics, in order to combine active service with the presidency...
...tool." They saw a barrel-chested iron-forger, naked above his leather apron, poising his sledge for a blow. They saw a strong-armed Nordic guiding an electric drill, and a cool Nordic in overalls _ and gauntlets, riding midair on a girder -perhaps a bone in the steel skeleton of the new Book Building, "world's highest."

Soon blotchy hysterical posters appeared: "Death to the British slaves who are trying tc strangle us by stopping our commerce...
...matter of fact, there was little comment con, and less pro, if by comment is meant competent critical appraisal of the work of Mr. Kalish. His structural steel workers, choppers, diggers, pourers, are handled with the respect due to big muscles, energy and the artistic principles of the late Auguste Rodin. To use the means with which Rodin got at metaphysical truth, the forces behind men and women, figures erect and hazardously separated from the earth that put life in them-to use this means for reproducing, as by a good magazine illustration, the overalled figures of U.
