...More scholarships are also spoken of as a real need. For the past decade the increase in productive funds has failed to keep pace with the increase in the operating expenses of the educational plant, and the report shows that the increase in the productive endowment has been used almost entirely for restricted uses, such as the establishment of a new graduate course in business administration. A total income of $417,618.03 includes the tuition income of $181,519.79 and $34,463.63 which represents the income from $1,250,000, the amount which the University has had to set aside...
...many books, published since his coming to the United States to enter the Department of Psychology in Harvard University. Professor Muensterberg declared that he went aboard the steamer that brought him here possessing of the English language only an almost useless smattering acquired in school. Before the voyage across was ended he had acquired, by diligent and vigorous study, the power to speak, understand and write it with facility.

Writing a history of the war before the war was over, he said, when they did not know what the issue would be; when they knew nothing...
Townsend played a hard, steady game at left centre and worked well with T. H. Rice '17 at left wing. These two players kept the puck almost entirely down in front of the substitutes' goal and did some clever passing along the boards. Townsend, in particular, carried the puck frequently through the opposing team, his individual work as well as team play standing out conspicuously. Percy was easily the fastest man on the ice and was, besides, brilliant on the defence, slowing up the scrub forwards by skating across in front of them when they had the puck...
