...Pennsylvania-Dartmouth clash at New York, will in the general sporting world attract almost as much attention as the Harvard Princeton game. Despite the results of last Saturday's games the Dartmouth and Pennsylvania elevens are generally regarded as two of the most powerful developed this fall...
...addition to its plans announced yesterday morning, the Glee Club has arranged for a comprehensive program to be carried out this winter. The organization now aims to set a standard of music which will not only attract audiences but will also be a pleasure and a benefit to the members of the club.

The startling number of young men disclosed by the draft who are illiterate or physically imperfect shows that our schools are functioning imperfectly even now. Should not the strong...
