...proper sphere of operations. By rejecting the League of Nations, the Senate announced its intention to stay at home and mind nobody's business but its own. Surely such an announcement is somewhat inconsistent with the Irish resolution, whereby the same Senate plunges its finger, nay, its whole fist into the international pie, and extends a wholly gratuitous insult to a friendly nation. Great Britain is fully as anxious to get rid of the Irish question as the Irish are to get rid of Great Britain. Some day may see the matter adjusted; but that day will not be hastened...
...present it is planned to take down three crews, the fist and second University, and the first Freshman. Two, and probably three, shells will be shipped to Lynn, where the West Lynn Boat club has given the use of its boathouse. A coaching launch will also be taken.

He may have absconded, become involved in a fist fight, or had philosophical leanings toward the I. W. W. His sole acquaintanceship with the University may have been a semester while studying for the doctor's degree in Hindu mythology, a term at the summer school, or a season as assistant janitor's helper in Widener. The occasion...
