...crux of the whole problem is as to just what will be the influence of the military camps on those who must be expected to educate the voter and supply the diplomatists. Fortunately the correspondents have themselves indirectly answered this question for us. No one can read the letters of those who support the camps or have actually been to them without being convinced as to just what their contributions will be for the settlement of international problems. The question of the military camps is not one of aggressive militarism; it is one of making a beginning towards a consistent...
...group of sturdy college athletes can play a game of football as well as it ever can be played. On the other hand, it is highly ridiculous to compare for an instant the theses or examinations of undergraduate scholars with the productions of famous scholars and professors.

...they go, promise well to accomplish the desired results; but, of course, the committee has not yet really given any definite form to the revised game, as the actual phrasing of the rules has not been attempted, and the question of keeping the forward, pass, which is the crux of the whole situation, has not been settled at all. The rules which have been laid down so far, however, will doubtless make the ass play less useful and a great deal less dangerous; and if the proposed prohibition of the diving tackle can be so framed as to make...
