...rate, the straw vote shows a large sentiment in the University in favor of Roosevelt. Any idea that his vote is due to the fact that he is a Harvard man should be dispelled. In 1912 both the straw votes held were won by graduates of the University's chief rivals, Yale and Princeton. Roosevelt was second both times. Nor can this vote be taken as a final indication of what student Harvard will think of the Presidential candidates next fall. In 1912 Taft carried the spring straw vote, and Wilson was third; in October, after the split...
...better qualified to speak on the subject of a "Naval Plattsburg" than Mr. Roosevelt, as he is in close touch with naval affairs at Washington from the nature of his office.

The "Phantasy," by Mr. Willcox, though abounding in color and imagination, is breathless in its movement; it reminds one of the "patter" of comic opera. Mr. Rogers is dreadfully sophisticated. But perhaps "Retrospect" is not his last word on life. "A Thought...
...looked upon as an imposition of an additional amount of work, which was not in itself of much importance. In fact it is an attempt to obtain real and not merely technical concentration. The student is required to obtain a thorough grasp of some specific field, and a general idea of the inter-relation of the various fields of history and economics...
