It is indeed perhaps the most unfortunate feature of a large college that it is an impossibility for all the professors to know all the students personally. But admitting this situation is by no means admitting...
...keen interest in political development seems to be at last aroused, if we may judge from the spread of commission government and from the use of the referendum. A broad view of the results gives one clear and encouraging answer as to their meaning, namely, that not since the Civil War have the people voted as thoughtfully as they did last week...
