...sober second thought, to a calmer and more reasonable frame of mind. Fortunately this does not nor will not approach over-confidence. Yale never met Harvard without the firm determination to win, and there is no reason to believe that its playing on Saturday will be in any degree inferior to its brilliant record this year. But Yale's goal line has been crossed more than once during the season, while to its powerful offense Harvard will oppose a defense which has been continually growing in strength. It cannot be doubted that the Harvard team has had, hidden somewhere within...
...very low-grade cloud that has no silver lining. It is a very inferior issue that cannot be put to political purposes over a period of years. Prohibition is not such. Governor Pinchot, whose head hives a very busy Presidential bee, is fully aware of this fact. Being a Republican, if he wants to be President in 1925 he must defeat Calvin Coolidge for the nomination in the next Republican National Convention. To defeat Mr. Coolidge he must have an issue, and with the President's tenacious silence an issue is difficult to find. But Mr. Pinchot is resourceful...
...future the popular press of Great Britain will, as to about five-sixths of its issue, be in the hands of two men, both of them inferior to Lord Northcliffe in journalistic flair, and one of them, Lord Rothermere, of a purely commercial type. In itself, the union marks a further lowering of a not very high standard of London daily journalism, for the Evening Standard, which belonged to the Hulton group, was the best edited evening newspaper in London, adapted to a rather higher standard of culture than any of its rivals, while the Sunday Chronicle, published in Manchester...
This is all very true and concisely expressed. Both Lord Rothermere and Lord Beaverbrook are distinctly inferior journalists to the late Lord Northcliffe. Lord Rothermere was always identified with the financial arrangements of the Northcliffe Press. At the time Lord Northcliffe, then Alfred Charles William Harmsworth, started his first newspaper venture (Answers), Lord Rothermere, then Harold Harmsworth, was in the Civil Service. He was accounted a brilliant mathematician and his advent to his brother's firm may safely be said to have laid the cornerstone of the Northcliffe fortune. Northcliff e had the journalistic gift and lacked, not business...
...personal conference geographical or graduate preference, arbitrary fixation of numbers, and a raised standard of admission are what apparently remain. Turning its back on all of these except the last, the Harvard special committee on admission, in its report last April, recommended "several steps in the way of excluding inferior students". It is too early to judge whether these steps have served their object. Certainly they have done nothing to solve the problem of enrollment...
