...President alone can make actual changes in rates, and might disregard the Commission's recommendations. But the fact remains that he has greatly enlarged his powers, however he may choose to exercise them. He may make changes to remedy only the obvious defects of the law as they develop in practice. His friends say this is his intention. But he, or some later President, out of sympathy with the law, might choose to take the making of the tariff entirely into the hands of the Executive...
...Rhodes scholarships, intended to develop cordial relations among the English-speaking nations of the world, left their task half accomplished. Americans have poured across the sea to Oxford and the association with Englishmen in their own country has been profitable. But the feeble trickle of Englishmen to American universities has prevented the thorough understanding which Rhodes intended. "Reciprocity", in this case, is necessary, and the stimulation has been provided. Each year the Davison scholarships will support one student from Oxford and one for Cambridge at Harvard, Yale and Princeton; in all six men. As with the Rhodes scholarships, general fitness...

Association must, in the future, develop the sympathy which has hitherto resulted from the ties of blood. And whatever regrets one may feel at the decrease in the proportion of Anglo-Saxon Americans should be diverted to efforts, such as Mrs. Davison's, to perpetuate Anglo-American unity...

...sale for the profit of another person is illegal. In the College, however, leniency has been shown; many courses are largely an accumulation of fact, which can be conveniently condensed into notes; and such vest-pocket editions, properly used, do little harm. But in courses which are intended to develop processes of thinking, second-hand notes can only give the trusting student an unwarranted feeling of security; and, naturally, the whole advantage of such a course is lost when the regular exercises are shirked. No set of notes on Physics or Mathematics, for example could be of real value, even...
