Compulsory physical training is not meant to bear all its fruits during the Freshman year. Colleges which have tried it have found that a far greater number of their students have turned out for athletics during their last three years with compulsion during the first year, than under a strictly laissez-faire policy. Men who have never partaken in any sports or games in their school days will be drawn into them in college and will be able to enjoy them and profit by them throughout life. The spectacle of clever and talented men needlessly stricken with physical disability...
Undergraduates of the University who are planning to take part in athletics during the summer should bear in mind the sections of the eligibility code in force at the University, Yale, and Princeton which appears below: A printed memorandum of these rules has been sent by the Harvard Athletic Association to all candidates for teams who are now in the University...
...beaten bully is again howling for mercy. The latest whine of the German peace delegation declares the treaty framed by the Versailles Conference to be "more than the German people can bear."

Two of her fairest provinces were torn from...

In my judgment, enough lying has been done by the American press about the war to last for a hundred years, and this is not the normal misrepresentation due to human fallibility and the exigencies of news-gathering. Of course, the governments must bear the largest share of the blame for this newspaper lying, for their censorship's, established avowedly for the purpose of preventing military facts of value from falling into the hands of the enemy, speedily degenerated into deliberate suppression or deliberate propaganda. The worst offenders in this respect have been...
