...that we know our fate we have to admit that a Monday holiday would not have been as ideal as at first it seemed. The work normally done then would merely have been shunted onto the other five days and we should have gained nothing. As far as saving fuel is concerned the Monday-vacation scheme would have been of no avail. The Yard, as we understand, is heated by excess steam from the Cambridge Power Plant, which would have to keep open anyway. We would have saved nothing there. Dormitories would necessarily be open and light and heat would...
...trustees of the University of Pennsylvania have taken no definite action on the plan to admit women students to the university. Failure to act was due probably to a student mass-meeting at which resolutions were passed calling upon the trustees to postpone action. As a result the matter was referred to a special committee to be appointed by Provost Smith. As the board will not meet again for three months, it will be impossible in any event to open the university to women until fall...
...feel that the writer has overlooked much that is worthy in this scheme. It is not advocated that students go to bed late and get up early. The idea is rather to go to bed earlier and get up early.

If only half of them realized that to get up an hour earlier and do good work meant getting to bed an hour earlier, this would mean the saving of 840 hours...
...arising, the Corporation and Faculty should take radical measures,--measures to safe-guard the University, and at the same time to help the country. I think that there might be formed a military college with a three-years' course on the same general lines as West Point. I would admit boys of the age of sixteen, physically fit, without examination, merely dropping them on their failing to maintain a proper standard in their stud- ies. During their three years in college I should have them under strict military discipline, with a prescribed military course, lectures in the morning, practical work...
...other hand we are quite ready to admit that the enthusiasm with which the public has taken upon our games has swept us along involuntarily into mistaken ways. The number of errors in the system is probably great, but we cannot wipe them all out at once. Our revolution must be a gradual one if we are to retain athletics on any extensive scale. The National Association, however, has now publicly recognized these faults and it proposes to deal with these at its next session. It will pass resolutions favoring, first, that there be no more pre-season coaching; second...
