...clubs of the University since 1888 when he was a member of the Harrison campaign committee. Speaking of the candidates of the Republican party, he said there were really only two, Taft and Hughes. Although Hughes is a strong and energetic worker, he is a single-handed player, a fault which cannot insure a strong administration. He lacks the important element of team play, which is Taft's strongest point. Secretary Taft is best fitted for the presidency because of his large experience gained from his beneficial rule of the Philippines, his building of the Panama Canal, and his knowledge...

The average foreigner has been all too likely to become an outsider in everything but name, through no fault of his own and no fault of the other students. The foreigner, with different points of view, has not been encouraged to approach his American classmates, whose ideas and ideals he cannot altogether understand. The undergraduates on the other land have become absorbed in their own interests and overlooked the presence of those who have come...
