...MacDonald's policy is sure to be pro-German and anti-French-pro-German to the extent of actively assisting Germany to find her financial feet by peaceable methods; anti-French to the extent of opposing France's "continental policy." He will also be sure to accord immediate de jure recognition to Soviet Russia. Labor circles in London let it be known, however, that no immediate attempt to force capital levy on the country would be made by a Labor Government. Because of this statement, Labor was considered to have improved its position with regard...

It agrees with the Bulletin that undergraduate editors "have their day and cease to be" and must hand on their trust untarnished and, if possible, brighter than ever. Difference of opinion develops not as to the end but as to the means...

'At first sight, the idea of a gymnasium or a dormitory does not seem to accord with the spirit of a memorial. But it is only necessary to think of Harkness at Yale or of the Baker Memorial Rink at Princeton to dispel the prejudice against a "utilitarian" memorial. At its best a new dormitory might be a Harvard Harkness; at its worst it would serve a useful purpose. At i's best a new chapel would be a glorious, if somewhat lifeless, architectural monument...
