...editorial columns, though spiritually without blame, are not thoroughly alive even in treating new problems. They are disfigured, too, by such expressions as "broader leavening function" and "unconsciousably." Mr. Greene's "Harvard and the Nation" makes known much important truth; Professor Wambaugh's excellent exposition in the series called "Choice of a Profession" will scarcely help the Cincinnati delegates,--most of whom are already sentenced for life,--but to a hesitating Senior it may prove invaluable. More than a third of the Advocate is written by members of the Faculty. If the paper is to follow the CRIMSON in pressing...

The Freshman club is essentially a beginner's organization and a large part of its most valuable work lies outside the field of formal debating. Rather than ponder subjects of international policy or political significance, the club would do well...
...private enterprise and whose opinions have been narrowed, are not the men to make righteous law for these ninety, millions of people. It is before the student statesman with true character and willingness to give himself up entirely to the public good, to deal with the greater and broader questions which have arisen in the last few years...
