...some, this theatrical example may seem untrue to life, while others, among them those who live beyond the Mississippi, may contend at least that such a thing would not happen in the "open-hearted West". These objectors should hear the sad tale of Chaplain J. R. Calder of the Colorado House of Representatives, who was officially reprimanded for reporting to his Creator that: "Our courts are corrupt; God has been expelled from out churches;--our boys and girls are going to the dogs; our laboring men are going to work with empty dinner pails, while our farmers starve...
...than most people know or like to think about. While it is true that the College has advanced far from the old corduroy- trouser-dirty-sweatshirt days much of the old indifference to matters not essentially material remains; and it is against this that The Arts is forced to contend. It is to the lasting credit of the few brave souls who have kept up the fight in the past few years, even though discouragingly outnumbered, that The Arts is now, almost for the first time, showing promise of an untroubled health in the future.

The labor organizations, in common with many business organizations and some railroad managements, are anxious for different reasons to abolish the Labor Board. Others advocate the strengthening of the Labor Board by the compulsory enforcement of its decisions and the prohibition of strikes. Senator...
...this year has not been used to any great extent and certainly not with any great degree of success. The apparent weakness in this respect is simply a part of the whole offensive weakness. Defensively, the line has improved greatly but has had, in very few instances, to contend with the type of fast concerted rushing attack which it must encounter in the big games. The Dartmouth rushing attack often fell short of the strength which can be expected from now on and for this reason it is difficult to say whether the Harvard line defense will be adequate...
