And one other thing will be found, too, which cannot be got at any odd institution that calls itself a college just because it has a coach and a cheer and a grandstand. That is that at Harvard the game is designed for the enjoyment of the players.

Lewis. Last week, 18,000 unionists, members of the Syndicate of Petroleum Workers, had good reason to cheer. A 3,250-page, nine-volume decision in their favor was handed down by a special commission named by the Board of Arbitration to investigate Mexico's oil industry...
