...cannot is the cause for businessmen accepting so gladly a man who has worked his way through college. Unfortunately such a man, as a rule, has lost the benefit which the seclusion of college life offers. He would be the first to acknowledge this handicap. There is, however, a golden mean which should be adopted by each undergraduate. His capacity to learn is developed by his academic pursuits; his ability to compete can be developed in athletics. Athletics not only offer this course in competition, but they establish the man on firm physical basis. This ability can also be developed...
...policy of the Harvard Magazine as stated, is "to publish the best in Harvard and Radcliffe."

Scenes in France, Flanders, and Germany are depicted in a Spanish manuscript, which incidentally traces Celtic influences on that peninsula. Italy is represented in the manuscripts with a Martyrology and a Gospel of Mathilda...
...ourselves. See how gloriously the German people fights (rightly or wrongly): possibly one reason is German compulsory workmen's insurance. See how miserably the buds of Russian civilization (more socialistic even than the German) are being crushed: possibly one reason is Russian mysticism. Here's to the golden American mean of the future, educating itself by recognition (1) that it is a society and (2) that there is no human life that is not economic. ISIDOR LAZARUS...
