...many printed attacks on commercialism in football, on the "expense of victory", which we read every year as the season ends, attacks which are often aimed primarily at intersectional contests, the fact remains that such games can be of immense good. Publicity of the right sort does no harm. In the case of colleges more publicity is gained through football than through any other single means. As international sport events have proved their worth in furthering friendship between countries, so intersectional games should foster a finer and more sympathetic understanding among the colleges of the country.

...injustice of the Employees' Compensation Law, when carried to such extremes, is evident. It is wholly fair that an employer should recompense his worker for injuries suffered in the natural pursuit of his duties and from accidents growing out of risks taken in entering that employ.

After all, it is the old story of revolution being rebellion until it has succeeded, and the hero a traitor until he has conquered...
...number of people who put a good deal of faith in them. At least, they put enough faith in them to offer the tremendous odds of 5 to 4 in favor of Yale. Certainly no Harvard man puts any faith in such comparison, but it will do no harm to look at some of the facts behind the numerical scores...
