Enrollment records at the University were smashed right and left when the 286th year started yesterday. Figures made public last night showed that the Freshman class is the largest that ever came to the College and that the total College enrollment is likewise a record-breaker, while many other departments of the University reported large gains...
...last year hung up a mark of 25 seconds flat for that distance. C. D. Pratt and H. Hopkins are doing well in the 220-yard swim, as are a very creditable string of divers in the fancy dive. In P. H. Meagher the Blue has another record-breaker, for as a plunger he has broken the intercollegiate record floating 75 feet--the entire length of the Carnegie Pool. N. T. Guernsey, the other entry in that event, has already covered 70 feet in practice this season...
...take part in the Penn. Relay Carnival, and Johnny Mack, the Eli coach, fears that he will not regain sufficient physical form this year to be counted on as a point winner. During his freshman year, Reed, who came to Yale from Mercersberg as a preparatory school record breaker, reeled off a mile in 4 minutes and 23 seconds. Schleiter, who won Yale's 100 and 220-yard dashes in the last meet held, pulled a tendon last week, and his return to form is exceedingly doubtful...
...most directly beneficial service in a particular case is in the Juvenile Court work. If a boy on trial for some minor offense is sent to a penitentiary where the influences are not uplifting, the changes are that he will be hardened into an incurable law-breaker.

The college man finds the boy occupation, talks to him sensibly...
...called a man of war; yet he stopped the bloodiest war of history, the Russian-Japanese war, which threatened two great nations with destruction and drew into the quarrel many others. There was not any precedence for interfering, but the result justified the act. Roosevelt was not a breaker of precedence but a maker of precedence. The treaty of Portsmouth, the outcome of Theodore Roosevelt's own efforts, raised the prestige of the American nation to a position commanding greater respect and recognition among the nations of the world than ever before attained...
