...several very interesting books on religion and theology just published. "The Religious Thought of the Greeks from Homer to the Triumph of Christianity" takes up the history of Greek religious ideas. The book, by Clifford Herschel Moore '89, Professor of Latin, deals primarily with the genetic development of the higher phases of religion, and discusses also ancient morality, Roman religion, Oriental cults, and early Christianity. Shailer Matthews, Professor of Historical and Comparative Theology and Dean of the Divinity School in the University of Chicago, and William Belden Noble Lecturer at the University for 1916, has a book on "The Spiritual...
...other group is concerned with the work of taking supplies from the most advanced bases to the front, and is composed of battalion supply sergeants, regimental supply officers and men of higher rank. It is with this group that we are concerned. Beginning with May 31, when the Business School examinations end, the course will run for three weeks until the College closes.

The 1918 crew were smoother, and, rowing a higher stroke, put more drive into the shell. At the half-mile they had increased their lead to three lengths, which they maintained to the finish. The Sophomores did not put their stroke up until the last four hundred yards, and then it was too late to cut down the open water between the boats...
