...expect or ask the Freshman class alone to insure a University dining hall. In the first place many of the first year men look forward to election to clubs in the fall and others entertain vaguer hopes. It is too much to expect men in this situation to bind themselves to a club table even for a half year. In the second place it is merely aphoristic to remark that before there can be a want there must be a lack. Freshmen are still being fed regularly and adequately and like the grasshoppers are likely to enjoy the present season...
There are two probable reasons for the failure of the Union plan: those eating there feel no necessity to bind themselves to certain tables, since under present conditions they are at liberty to sit where and with whom they choose and consequently by this time of the year, the same groups have formed communal habits which have proved satisfactory; secondly, there is a decided hesitancy about spontaneously offering to become a part of a system as unfamiliar as the University dining hall is to the present undergraduate...

Pennsylvania has 114 of the 298 factories...

It is the custom of the Massachusetts Court to announce its decisions as a body, and not to give voice to minority opinion, if such exists. This reticence does not bind other great courts, such as the United States Supreme Court or the New York Court of Appeals. Nor do such other great courts refrain from making their first concern the one thing of paramount importance, the material value of the new evidence...
...opposition is as strong as certain indications give every reason to believe the Administration owes it to alumni and undergraduates and above all to the fallen dead, to face it with something more tangible than a mysterious silence. Nothing could be more unfortunate than a memorial which does not bind firmly, and in the terms most intelligible to post-war Harvard, the honor and the lesson of the dead with the work and ideals of the living...
