...crudity of this blunder must be twice as obvious to the learned gentlemen who committed it: Why did they do it? Sympathy for Ireland may have prejudiced some Senators, but for the most part we fear there was another motive. Pressure from constituencies of Irish complexion must have drive these men to lose sight of national interests in personal ones. C. E. WORKS 1L. V. E. MACY, JR. '20. C. R. STEEDMAN...
...question immediately arises, how can we accomplish the sweeping changes that are necessary, when the very institutions which we aim to attack are incorporated in the Constitution. The immutability of the Constitution has become a paradox.

But until we see the posability of the restoration of the military regime with its idols we need not worry. As for the agitation, it is doubtless as annoying...
...possible that the Allied and Associated powers will not crush Prussian militarism now. Fear of economic instability may permit this far greater evil to fester once more in the heart of Europe. But the day of settlement can only be postponed--eventually the forces of light and darkness must clash in final conflict. Eventually this work must be finished...
