"It is one of those days when chickens run around the barn-yards with open beaks and distended wings; when shirt-collars have a decidedly despairing look, and when their owners eddy into every room which displays the sign ‘Ice Cream’ or ‘Soda Water with choice Syrups,’ as instinctively as chips or leaves seek out every nook along the brook side. … the temperature was up to the melting point during the continuance of the exercises, and it was not at all to be wondered at that President McLean should have found his silk gown so uncomfortably warm that he slipped it off his shoulders at every convenient opportunity; that fat men should have put on an air strongly suggestive of SIDNEY SMITH’s receipt for keeping cool on a warm Summer’s day,--to take off your flesh and sit in your bones;--nor finally was it at all surprising that young ladies should have found it a great more comfortable to talk to their neighbor than to listen to dry disquisitions from the stage, until President MACLEAN felt called upon to administer them a severe rebuke for their want of attention."

--New York Times, June 30, 1859, reporting on Princeton's Commencement

"Since 1790, the chiefs became Englishmen in outlook and used their clansmen to defend English capitalism against the revolution started in Paris in 1789. Since the Napoleonic wars, the Highland regiments have been used to defend the stolen lands of England all over the globe and have largely helped to extend the English empire."

"Whilst doing this, the Dukes of Sutherland and Argyll and other chiefs proceeded with the English landlord policy of land clearances. The friends of the fighters were chased of their native heath into the lowlands or out to Canada and Australia."

"Now the reaction is beginning - inspired by Ireland and Russia. Scotland must again have independence, but not to be ruled over by traitor chiefs and politicians. The communism of the clans must be re-established on a modern basis. (Bolshevism, to put it roughly, is but the modern expression of the communism of the mir.) Scotland must therefore work itself into a communism embracing the whole country as a unit. The country must have but one clan, as it were - a united people working in co-operation and co-operatively, using the wealth that is created."

"We can safely say, then: back to communism and forward to communism."

- 'All Hail the Scottish Communist Republic' by John Maclean, August 1920
