...credit system. So has life. If we stopped to verify the word of every one with whom we were obliged to deal in the course of the day, human affairs would be paralyzed. The only way the world can go on is on the assumption that people around us are telling the truth. And it is because of the hideous inconvenience and uncertainty he occasions that the whole world detests a liar...
...opening match of the season, will meet Dartmouth on Divinity Field this afternoon at 3 o'clock. The strength of the University players is problematical, for as in all other sports this spring, the team has been built up from an absolutely fresh start, with very little nucleus around which to work. Two men of considerable experience, however, are included in the number scheduled to play today. They are E. B. Benjamin '18, who captained his fall Freshman team, and F. M.

...British are not a phrase-making people and their stubborn defence of Ypres has not been illuminated by a slogan, like "They shall not pass," the battlecry at Verdun which set France aflame. But in a less spectacular way their struggle around the ancient Flanders town symbolizes the British tradition in the war as the struggle for the Douamont and Vaux fortresses and Dead Man's Hill symbolizes the tradition of the French. It was at Ypres in November, 1914, that the British regulars, the "Old Contemptibles" of the gallant first expeditionary force, stemmed the German attack...
