...article said in part: "As far as his approach (President Wilson with the League) to the Senate was concerned, in my judgment, the President's purpose was impeccable but his manner unfortunate. . . . He might have been a little less yielding at Paris and a little more yielding at Washington if he had realized that the situation was no longer wholly in his hands. . . . On the other hand the result would probably have been the same, for the Senate were plainly waiting to deal him a mortal blow. . . . The United States, after having risen to heights of courage and idealism...
Those who have read "Conrad in Quest of His Youth" may wonder how it is that so many men every June undertake a similar pilgrimage with equally disappointing results. We do not mean to imply that all alumni going back for commencement approach their reunions, with Conrad's objective in mind. Many are too young still to feel the urge. Others have obeyed it in the past and are now too wise. But those grads who have arrived, say, at the stage of their twentieth reunion are neither too young nor too wise--Conrads...

...holes with an 80 Peirson had had a good deal of difficulty in defeating Johnson one up as both were even on the last hole.

By a very pretty approach shot, however, he was able to reach the green and hole out in four, one stroke less than that taken by his opponent. The Engineers, however, reversed the tables in the Ballard-Clement-Hodder-Williams foursome match and defeated the Crimson players by a one-stroke margin after being even...
There were no divots or sliced tee shots when England and America found themselves bunkered on the first hole of a long struggle at Boston in 1775. The British approach fell short, if memory serves; General Gage picked up and returned to Boston. That was nearly 150 years ago. One hundred and thirty-one years later the British again suffered a defeat, this time at the hands of Walter J. Travis, when, at Sandwich, he sailed away with the British Amateur Golf Cup. From that day to this British Golf has rolled America in the dust of British bunkers...
