Recently, she has once again shyly intimated her utterly disinterested desire to establish a Monroe Doctrine for the continent of Asia, a policy which violates not only the Nine-Power Treaty of 1921, but other treaty obligations as well. Diplomatists are expressing shocked surprise at this, a state of affairs which is either a tribute to their innocent incompetence, or to their mendacious abilities.

It aimed to establish in the Freshman year interest in sports which would be sufficient to insure active participation in later life. To this end each Freshman was forced to play some game three times a week under faculty supervision. This arrangement may be desirable in theory but in practice it merely antagonizes the student and, as attested by the recent position of protest, becomes another of the unpleasant duties of the first year...
