Dr. Alexander Meiklejohn, former President of Amherst College: "I arrived in Manhattan, where I will pass the Winter writing magazine articles on education."

Woodrow Wilson: " My daughter, Miss Margaret Wilson, spoke before the Lawyers' Club, in Manhattan, at a luncheon in honor of Senator Royal S. Copeland.

S. and Canada: "I, who once said I believed the morality of the American girl now to be at its lowest ebb, returned from Europe and said: ' The morals of the younger generation abroad are simply deplorable!'

William Lyon Phelps, leading Professor of English at Yale University: "Lawrence F. Abbott, contributing editor of The Outlook, made sport of me for having permitted the phrase ' without hardly any sleep' to appear in certain of my writings appearing in a current magazine. Said he: 'What have you to say in defense of yourself, Professor Phelps ? Nothing will be accepted by the jury except the solemn asservation that you wrote "with" and that a German linotyper or a Hungarian proofreader transformed the simple and obvious proposition into that rough and discordant "without."'
