...moth completely unable to approach the star. Class teams this year are effecting what they have hitherto failed to bring about; the whole emphasis of the athletic director and those who are working with him is toward effectiveness tempered with sanity. When the Dartmouth published its editorial on mass meetings the same spirit was expressed. The less hysteria attached to football, the better. So, as in many other varieties of human interest, the truth of the matter seems to be that clarity begins at home. If the larger colleges of the East can maintain sobriety and sense in their athletic...
...Bingham and those who are working with him are trying to gain efficiency through directness of approach and through a reduction of friction. Taking duties certainly peculiarly fitted for those intimately connected with the work from those less well endowed cannot be considered as other than progressive.

Could he promise that the faculty, now striding the twin steeds of scholarship and teaching with what grace is possible, would be even beter poised with the third steed of university administration added--then his faculty government...
...justice to Mr. Dial, however, we will state that while in this campaign he apparently hoped for some support from the Blease following, his normal appeal and his usual strength (which is small) comes from the conservative, business class of folk. On the stump, he cannot, to any degree, approach the campaign style of either of his opponents this year nor of his opponents two years...
