In the past the University has been content to give out aids to many applicants, sight unseen, whose numerical averages simply met the requirements.

Red Russia, not content with poisoning the air of one-fourth the habitable globe, has sent her paid agents to our fair shores. Men like Commander Van Zandt, whom few deny to be in the open pay of Moscow, make defamatory remarks about the young men who are some day to fight the battles of this country.
