An immediate and never-failing reason alleged for our cloud-swept athletic horizon is, of course, curricular difficulty. Being neither the Oxford nor the Cambridge of America, Princeton-so the story goes-is seeking to become the Harvard Law School of New Jersey...

In 1916 the copper mines of Africa yielded 43,876 tons mined at high cost by inefficient natives. By 1923 the figure had risen to 80,410 short tons. Last year's production is estimated to have reached 142,599 tons. During this time modern machinery has supplanted hand labor to a great extent, railroads have been built. Now for the first time, African copper is a subject in all conversations regarding the metal's future...
