...Alumnus who has been watching the recent games told us yesterday that never in his memory has the cheering section of a visiting team from another state been more enthusiastic than the College section--yet recently this has been so. He repeated the axiom, no less true because it is very, very old, that an unsupported team can seldom...
...However, the Unionist Party carried the people with it and controlled absolutely the branch of the Government responsible to the voters up to November, 1916.

"In times of peace prepare for war" is an axiom which, although little heeded in this country, has been proven by Germany to be only too true. Two hour's drilling a week would not materially disarrange the life of the students. Besides preparing them for an emergency, the drills would be beneficial in a moral and physical way. Many...
