...development is the rise of Economics to a position where it threatens the long standing numerical superiority of the English field. For five years English has held undisputed sway. Before that the Economics department held the lead in several isolated years. The reasons for this shifting popularity may be either external or internal. However, the fact that Economics has ascended the throne more than once in the past seems to show that the movement is a variable one.

Your reference to George Washington in TIME, Oct. 20, exhibits an ignorance of the subject, or a trustful credulity in the inspiration of the professional debunkers, either of which is unworthy of TIME.

The weary miles of study are longer than those found en route for the big game...
...Haven, Conn., November 10--Bruce Caldwell, Yale's halfback, is definitely barred from the gridiron for the remainder of the present season, and will not play in either the Princeton or Harvard game. This is the essence of a statement issued tonight by Professor G. H. Nettleton '96, chairman of the Board of Athletic Control of Yale University, after a prolonged session of that body here tonight...
