...impossible for them to make a sudden change and turn to politics. It is for the young men who have such decisions before them to feel a personal responsibility for the errors and absurdities committed in our legislative chambers and to resolve to correct conditions as now exist by entering politics themselves. If the recent bungling merely provokes criticism by our college men, the future promises no better government for the nation. Our history and government courses have done no good, if they have not convinced us that we must take an active interest in public affairs, or our political...

Many are questioning the advisability of obligating themselves for the summer camp. The practical drill that...
...between the students of different countries. This evening's hockey game is an example. The players of McGill University should be greeted with all friendliness and respect, for their opinion of the reception we give them will go a long way towards promoting or hindering the cordiality which should exist between the United States and her neighbor to the north. It is much more than an intercollegiate contest. It is a contest between two traditions of the sport, and in a certain sense between two countries. Too often this sort of competition is marred by a distorted patriotism which takes...
