...story in the present generation, even as in that of the olden times, shone most brightly over brave men. "And brighter lights shone o'er fair women and brave men." And there seems to be a reason for it. A social scientist, 40 years ago, said that the greatest nation of the future would be the one that could send the most men to the top of the Matterhorn.

...warring nations of Europe the Clock has been turned back for so long that it may never return to its former habits. The experiment was tried by a large percentage of the University in the R. O. T. C. last summer, and its advantages were obvious to the greatest bed-lovers in the Regiment. Even if for national reasons the authorities of the state do not see fit to make such a system universal, it would be altogether possible to introduce it in the University. The plan is worthy of serious consideration by the powers...
