...selection of Charles Evans Rughes for Secretary of State--the first officer of the American Cabinet bodes well for the incoming administration. The new secretary, says Senator Harding, will speak for the State Department; the long public career of Mr. Hughes amply justifies his appointment. Herbert Hoover's world-wide reputation for executive ability is likewise of much greater significance than his power with the voters. But in the selection of other Cabinet members, Mr. Harding's application of his principles will have to stand the test of time. Mr. Weeks and Mr. Davis are men of unquestioned ability...
...last Thursday at Symphony Hall, the Glee Club sustained its unique reputation and demonstrated the same complete mastery of subject that has distinguished its previous performances. Mme. Frieda Hempel appeared as the soloist and was forced to give many encorcs, after rendering two groups of songs which included a wide selection.

...scientific" scholarship, the true divinity of which no one then doubted, he paid scant homage. His mind worked by flashes--flashes of wit, of iconoclastic paradox, of profound intelligence and of almost magical divination; but still, as it seemed to academic Cambridge, it worked uncanonically, irresponsibly. His knowledge was wide and luminous; on most of the subjects of which he wrote it was exhaustive; yet always it was the knowledge not of the researcher nor even of the steady-going teacher of youth, but of the adventuring man of letters. Long before the Shavian era in England...
