...Harvard's big games costs $4.40 to the unbooked students. Undergraduate interest in professional football can be expected to rise as economic conditions sweep it in in place of high-priced, gold mine Harvard football. This morning's figures serve as an estimate of the complications that modern sports entail in a large University. It is unfortunate that these conditions should serve to check the interest of those who should be primarily concerned,--the present members of the University itself...

...Inasmuch as the railroads are the greatest consumers of national industrial output, their failure would entail a tremendous falling off in the production of large industries, such as coal and steel. Also, the railroads are among the largest direct employers of labor in the country, and the number of men thrown out of work by their failure would be far from inconsiderable...

The play lacks surface too much to be an ideal vehicle for the cinema in general or for Ruth Chatterton in particular. Her performance, like that...

...advantages this plan would entail if adopted at Princeton should command the attention of the faculty and administrative officers. Not only is it the logical accompaniment to the responsibilities already vested in the individual student by the Four-Course Plan, but it would assist materially the educational policy which is being pursued at Princeton. This policy, if we read it aright, is to introduce the undergraduate to the materials of various fields of knowledge and encourage him to take advantage of them, rather than to confront him with a a lifeless array of facts summarizing the subject; and care...
