...peace, because she is statesmanlike and clearheaded, but she lacks imagination and the magnetism that all really great leaders must have. Her appeal is to the mind and not to the heart and the mind is slow to work when the heart is cold. Jane Addams sees a century ahead, and she sees a clear path to the light for which we are groping-but she sees but one path. If we won't take that path, she walks on alone and leaves us to wander along as best...

...mile race Yale is the favorite with new Intercollegiate placers in Gage and Paulson. Captain Gage of Yale has not lost a dual meet quarter-mile race this year. Kane and Allen are the Crimson's strongest entries. Against Princeton the Harvard men came in one and two just ahead of Drews of Nassau. Drews was also a close third against Yale, Gage winning the race and Seacen, better known as a jumper, scoring second. The winners in both meets, Kane of Harvard and Gage of Yale, can break 50 seconds for the distance. Gage, however, is slightly the favorite...
