...first land-grant college to take advantage of this opportunity by making military drill elective was the University of Wisconsin. The authorities of other colleges have as yet done nothing to alleviate their students of this unnecessary burden. In not a few places, however, the undergraduates have taken matters into their own hands and started a vigorous campaign against the injustice. In the University of Minnesota the students have formed an Anti-Compulsory Military Drill League which is engaged in spreading its sensible propaganda broadcast through the still-shackled colleges of the country. Undergraduate opinion, seldom so unanimous, is gathering...

For the Chancellor of the Exchequer is supposed to be a sort of magician, conjuring painless taxation to meet the Nation's expenses...
Coaches Wright and Rice, who share the teaching burden at the Quaker institution, announced yesterday that the heavy varsity would represent Pennsylvania as the first crew in the races Saturday. Last week, the lighter of the two Pennsylvania crews faced Yale and Columbia as the first Red and Blue eight, but this boat failed to make as satisfactory time as the heavy crew, stroked by Irimiger. A race was held last Tuesday on the Schulykill to determine which crew would be the first boat in the race tomorrow, and the light eight, stroked by Doyle, was defeated...
