...Princeton, Yale, and Harvard, seems advisable. The Freshmen should, therefore, still participate in Freshman athletics alone, and the upperclassmen only should compete on the university teams. But provision should be made so that men who have returned from war service be allowed to take part in intercollegiate athletics, even if they are catalogued as "Unclassified" on the college records...
...College is emerging--not settling back--to its own plane once more, and that what Stevenson has called "an unwavering creative purpose" is again asserting itself. Not that the strokes of the artist are always sure, or his lines and modelling free from false touches or even ugly angles. This is illustrated in the imagistic verses, of which there are two rather ambitious contributions, "The Beggar" and "Lights and Snows"; also in the stories "Yestdo" and "The Glory Look".

By no other means would the wonderful unity of thought and feeling existent during the war be likely to be even so slightly broken. Undoubtedly the League of Nations is a subject worthy of the most careful consideration. In theory, it would appear to be an admirable means to keep the peace in the future, and it may well be as practicable as it is perfect in theory. The very best...
