...manly, or brute, valor, with a generous admixture of "Might makes right." But needless to say, most of us believe that government is not based solely on force, and that there is another arbiter than arms which is far more potent, not only to settle disputes, but to keep them settled. Perhaps it may be called, by way of ellipsis, public opinion. Even war has its rules. If force is to decide the matter, why not fight it out, by fair means or foul, till the weaker side cries for mercy? If resort to arms is the only ultimate solution...

Thus, because we believe the self-interest of every civilized nation coincides with the limitation of armaments and the prevention of war, we are very optimistic as to the possibility of permanent peace provided only the peoples of the nations can be educated as to what their self-interest is; and provided the necessary machinery...

...held in New York tonight should inaugurate a long series of successful meets. Track, a sport in some branch of which any sound man can attain a fair degree of proficiency by hard work, deserves every possible encouragement. An indoor intercollegiate meet will keep up interest in the sport and is valuable for that reason. It may even come to equal in interest the outdoor intercollegiate meet held in the spring. A fall intercollegiate meet is the next step to make track a year-round sport...
