...self-defense-an apology weakly put forth; a retreat without a single handsome feature. No one could expect, from a pen dipped in venom, a fair or impartial appraisement of Woodrow Wilson; especially from one who, where Woodrow Wilson's policies were concerned, was incapable of having a generous thought. It is regrettable, indeed, that at the end of his so distinguished a career a man should have put his great talents to so base a use as attempting, by insinuation and innuendo, to besmirch the reputation of one who, at a critical hour, single-handed and alone, sought...
That Dartmouth men were more generous and better dancers than Harvard men was the statement made by one of the bellboys at the Copley Plaza Hotel. This opinion, based on facts disclosed by the two intercollegiate balls of last week, and confirmed by general discussion among his fellow workers, was given to a CRIMSON reporter yesterday.

...that the College enlarges its philosophy department, and pays the astronomy professor a living wage. It is because the cigarette business, the pig iron and sweet chocolate business, do so well that the College can build new laboratories. On the other hand, captains of Industry would not make these generous be-guests to the College if the College turned out educated men and women. Educated men and women like to read the same book more than once; they like to ramble and reflect; they prefer simple pleasures; they are, if not actual enemies, at least no assistants to the manufacturers...
