...Stadium its baptism of Harvard football. Five hundred undergraduates filled the flagship of the Fall River Fleet for one sleepless night and then enjoyed the Great White Way for an eve of celebration. Those days are but blissful memories; the Princeton games fortunately go on but without the old glamor. Today a baseball team without an "H" man on it and a tennis team which is only a reminder of the days when Williams, Caner and Washburn used to represent the University, are going to New Jersey to take up the fight where its predecessors left...

Leaders in the nation's military and administrative work have urged that, wherever possible, the education of young men be completed before they are lost in the mold of a great military organization. But the very fact that the nation is willing to dispense with our services for a greater future benefit, places us under the obligation to assume at least a tone of our coming...
