That the nation cannot go on for a prolonged period in the present turmoil of strikes is clear. The whole public cannot be made to suffer continually for the interests of any one group; something must be done to remedy these evils. What must be done is the question on which all classes of society are pondering. Giving in to the strikers at every occasion will not solve it. Recent events show only too clearly that the more the strikers get, the more they want. Crushing the strikes once they start appears clearly impossible due to the high organization...

...more day of the Roosevelt Drive; one more day to prove that this College is true American by its appreciation of him who was one hundred per cent. American. Already our subscription has beaten that of Yale. But Yale is not Roosevelt's own college. We cannot rest on our laurels. For the six of the University and the importance of the campaign, our total of fourteen hundred and seventeenth dollars is small indeed...
