...Advocate selected "the war" as a fit subject for its contest doubtless because the war is at present a "live" topic, and one which might well summon the budding genius to his best. The judges, in picking out the prize poem, acted without reference to creed or country. Their business was simply to determine the best poem among the ten or fifteen submitted, judged as a poem. Because it was a good sonnet, and not because it was anti-German or anti-anything, "Gott Mit Uns" received the prize. "Dieu Avec Nous," written with equal skill, would have received equal...

A more modest aim, fit to be suggested here, is that before anyone discuss Militarism, in or out of print, he learn something of both sides of the question, and not permit hones for the future cause him to neglect to even consider present day problems.

Quite contrary to the usual policy, the crew management has this year seen fit to restrict at this early date, the number of candidates to the lowest minimum. This means that only those men on the University and class boats will be allowed further development. This policy seems open to criticism. Athletics are, in a primary sense, the means of affording physical training. To give the many daily exercise and training, there in lies the value. Athletics are not a business; they are recreation. And the moment their benefits are restricted to a few, they lose their fundamental value. This...
