Among the undergraduate body, the thought of democracy is farcical, Men come to college at the most plastic stage of manhood, when it would seem they ought to be willing to accept a man at his own value--according to that man's ability, his intellectual vigor, his social capacity. Is this the case, or is there not rather a wide gulf between those who live in the little frame houses in out-of-the-way streets, and those who inhabit the gold coast; those who make the clubs, and those who don't?

...should not allow our partiality for the cause of the Entente so to obscure our vision as to induce us to accept as valid wholly sophistical distinctions based on mere surface factors. Critics of Germany's submarine warfare constantly stress the fact that, whereas Great Britain's Orders in Council result merely in financial loss to the United States, Germany's warfare, on the other hand, is aimed at the lives of American citizens. Let us examine, for a moment, this contention. Germany declares, to be sure, that the lives of Americans entering the recently established war zone are thereby...
