...thus awarding the United Stares Line tour, which is given by the Student Tours Association, the CRIMSON will accomplish the double purpose of making a well merited choice and of electing a deal of constructive criticism of University policy from undergraduates. Hitherto much discussion and suggestion has come from the alumni, but no authoritative expression from the student body...
...this pain of production, his product becomes dull and profitless. After six years of newspaper work?years which Miss Ferber places ahead of any university courses she might have had?you would think that she could sit down at a typewriter and dash off a novel as a reporter accomplishes an assignment. Not so. For this task of writing, she trains much as an athlete trains for a race. Rain or shine, she walks several miles each day. Several times a week, she swims. She does not do things by halves.

...easier to talk about Senate Reform than to accomplish it, as no less a Canadian statesman than Sir Wilfred Laurier found out. The House of Commons can initiate and pass a bill; of that there is no doubt. The bill would necessarily take the form of an amendment to the British North America Act (the Canadian Constitution)± and that requires?irrespective of whether the bill were passed over the heads of the venerable Senators, which is impossible?an address from both Houses of the Canadian Parliament requesting the Mother Parliament at Westminster to amend the Act. Thus it becomes...
