...world. They will have the heavy responsibility of advising Congress not only in war times, but in the great reconstruction period afterwards, in adjusting our national tariff, dealing with the new foreign tariffs, and framing new treaties for the expansion of trade. In addition to keenness of judgment and a broad range of experience, they must possess unfailing resourcefulness in tackling situations which will have no precedent...
...warfare waged solely by one of the belligerents--unfortunately the view on which are based, apparently, the conclusions of the majority of those who undertake to judge Germany's submarine warfare. The proverbial American spirit of fair play would seem to warrant the application of a single standard of judgment to the conduct of the two belligerents whose present methods of warfare are affecting the vital interests of the United States on the sea.

...game throughout was an exhibition of hockey as it should not be played. In the first half particularly, the University forwards would not keep together and the defence made errors of judgment that might have turned out fatally. The outstanding feature of the evening, however, was the all-around playing of Captain Morgan and Percy for the University and of Captain Schoen for Princeton. The former were aggressive when the rest of the Crimson team was sluggish and ragged, and the latter was responsible for all three of the Tigers' goals...
