...should, however, be said that these excesses of German vitality, so skilfully used by anti-German writers to discredit Germany's position in the present conflict, have not, as is asserted, been a serious danger to the rest of the world. Rather have they been an element of weakness to Germany herself. They are not essentially different from the spirit of haughty masterfulness that characterized English foreign policies and English insular self-sufficiency throughout the larger part of the nineteenth century; or from the French belief in the superiority of France in all matters of higher civilization; or even from...
...contest today will see the testing of two different styles of college baseball. The marked characteristic of the Yale nine is a whirlwind attack and defense, in which the all-essential element is speed; the University's playng has been noted for conservatism--for playing the "safe" game. Yale has a team whose success has depended largely on individual play; the University nine has won its victories as a carefully coached aggregation having a thorough grounding in team-play...
...laboratory it is not strange that startling "popular" discoveries have not taken place there. Nevertheless, several important ones have been made, whose significance can only be estimated.

If there is one weakness which has characterized many previous plays of the club, it is the lack of a substantial basic plot. One cannot criticise the present production upon that ground. The music is well written; several...
Every amateur theatrical production has its faults and the noticeable falling of "Robin the Robber" lies with the orchestra. It is unfortunate that the professional element is not allowed to creep in at this point, for the orchestra is the backbone of a musical comedy. Murray Hall, however, conducted extremely well for an amateur and undoubtedly the music will improve under his leadership. The dances of the chorus were uncommonly clever and pretty; the female principals were likewise, and the masculine principals were never overshadowed in ability. Yet this is not all, for lighting and costuming are added with...
