Consensus of opinion approves the principle of the advisory work, but feels that its application has not been proportionately efficacious.

In striving to keep up the production of the industries of the country, and yet not weaken his regime, he has tried nationalization, socialization and communization which last is only a development ad infinitum of the principles of the first two.

Both Dartmouth and the University scored more firsts than Cornell, but the latter won the meet with her seconds.

A few more such and the standing of the teams at the end of the meet might have been quite different from what it was. It is Coach Bingham's task to develop these men, and he seems to be doing...
