...higher education, it has been a constant boon to writers when all other subjects failed. However, while we do feel that a surprisingly strong case might be argued for the undergraduate, yet the lack of interest, and therefore of knowledge, concerning issues of the day is a great deal more common than it ought...
...result of the war. At nearly all the larger institutions the plans for next spring are being made along practically the old lines and it is altogether probable that the same will be true of next autumn's fooball schedule when the time comes. Educators have had a good deal to say about the excellent opportunity for reform which was afforded the colleges by reason of the suspension of intercollegiate athletics during the war; but during this period no satisfactory substitute for the old plan of intensive sport was devised, at least nothing satisfactory to the undergraduates...

C. in the near future; this will leave the team with a comparatively weak line. Coach Dawson found a great deal of trouble filling these vacant positions because of the scarcity of material and the lack of time in which to train the available men; nevertheless, the team successfully opened its season last Saturday by defeating the Camp Merritt team 7 to 0, and the management has already arranged for future games in which is included Amherst...
