...harvest time, and lower prices to consumers later. (That this second point is not a matter of closet theory is abundantly shown by J. E. Pope, in an article in the Harvard Quarterly Journal of Economics of August, 1916). The speculator has failed to do it during the current crop year, for reasons above indicated, in part: (3) The speculator is a risk-bearer. Millers and grain buyers in the country "hedge" by short sales on the exchanges when they buy to grind or to ship. If the wheat the miller buys to grind goes down, and with...
Some of the huge amount of money which we must pay for war may come out of the current generation by taxes. Yet such taxes can both theoretically and actually pay but a small part of the heavy cost. The Government has offered millions of dollars in bonds to be subsidized for by the people. In this way coming generations may help pay for the cost of the war which we wage for the whole future no less than for the present...
...proofs of Harvard's difference from other colleges. The existence of such a magazine indicated, vaguely enough to be sure, a desire to think things through, to reject ready-made opinions for the mere reason that they were ready-made, to hold a little aloof from current lanes of thought.

...current number of the Illustrated is thoroughly representative of the present state of mind of Harvard. The dominant note throughout, from the very excellent cover design to the end of Dr. Sargent's article, hidden away among the advertisements, is preparation for war. The few normal activities of College life worth recording, such as the taking of the Senior picture and the election of the hockey captain, are relegated to inconspicuous back pages, just as they are kept far in the back of the undergraduate mind. It is unfortunate, however, that such irrelevant pictures of those of the Yale crew...
...poetry in the current number of the Advocate, as in other numbers of both the Advocate and Monthly I have seen this year, seems to me of remarkably high quality, even for undergraduate verse which, in the bulk, has always been the best written in this country. Mr. Norris and Mr. Hillyer easily take the lead with their contributions in the present list. Of the two, Mr. Norris, in "An Apple," strikes the more modern note. Here, as elsewhere in his work, he displays much of that "witty delicacy" which so many of the younger English poets today have derived...
