...political crists of the first magnitude has been caused by the retirement of Bonar Law from the British Cabinet. This leader of the House of Commons was the life and soul of the conservative element in the Coalition. His withdrawal from what the Premier calls the "fighting line" follows on a series of disquieting portents. First there was the dramatic decision of Lord Robert Cecil to join the Opposition in protest against the government's policies.

The undergraduate body is not snobbish. Then, let us be sure that we choose representatives of the students who are true representatives! ROBERT S. KELLER '23. March...
...efficient business organizations of the country. It requires no extreme powers of observation for each of the players to take advantage of this opportunity to familiarize himself with causes and effects and the methods which bring about the effects by logical development and without the entrance of the element of chance to any greater degree than is found in life in the business world. This phase of the football training fully deserves special mention because it adds just that much to the other and more obvious advantages which participation in the game merits...
