...many ways our results can be interpreted as reflecting the sanitary intelligence of an enlightened group of parents. We find, for example, very few Freshmen who have neglected teeth. This has been our experience since these examinations were begun in the fall of 1914. The public, or perhaps the more enlightened part of the public, may be regarded as well educated as to the importance of the care of the teeth. Furthermore, only rarely did we find a Freshman who had sufficiently gross uncorrected defects of the eye so that he needed the immediate attention of the oculist...
...that bubble must burst. Let us, then, strengthen our foundations and principles, so that we may have something firm and solid beneath us, rather than strive, by unproved theories and sweet-sounding phrases to prick the bubble and let ourselves fall into--what? This is what we want to find out. What is there in store for this country should we adopt Socialistic or Soviet doctrines...
...years. More than once recently a longshoremens strike has tied up ocean travel. New York has been spending money like the proverbial drunken sailor. Nor is New York alone in its extravagance.

...poetic contributions of this number are exemplary, in skill at least, of the old standard. Mr. Cabot's "Transcendency" being diabolically clever, is balanced by a conventional but charming bit from Mr. Sedgwick, and their juxtaposition on the same page shows excellent editorial acumen. Turning back a page we find Mr. Rogers' "where fauns with shadows play," while below him Mr. McLane in Swiftian style lampoons certain dull poetasters. "To still the Memnonian music of Song's lisps" is quite delightful provided Mr. McLane has his tongue in his cheek. Otherwise--? Mr. Hoffman's Sonnet, despite rather an anticlimacteric conclusion...
