...tract of land containing approximately 30 acres has been given to the University without restrictions by a group of 13 persons more or less intimately connected with the University. The land, which was formerly held by the Charles River Land Trust, is situated on Boylston street, Brighton, directly across the roadway from Soldiers Field...
Down across the broad fields of by-ways of our land, on through main traveled roads and the busy thoroughfares of cities, drives the heavy chariot of Mars, his sleek black horses caparisoned with shining armor. As he sounds his silver bugle, thousands of fair youths heed its call, and trudge bravely forth to do his bidding. From shop and home they come, from the canons of great cities, from the gray cloisters of the universities, all march behind the great van of the tyrant, all with high ideals and hearts undisturbed by the grim realities around them.

Flanders, the cockpit of Europe; the Balkans, the checkerboard of European politics; in a word, this has been Continental history for over a century.

Politically, we can have nothing but good-will for Canada's free and democratic government...
...University has taken new interest in Brooks House. More men and more money have been directed to its work than ever before. These men are engaged in teaching the future citizens of our land, they are leading boys to better lives and understanding; they are entertaining the blind; they are supporting the poor at law; they are supplying the needy; they are indeed the builders of a better society. College men seem to have taken a new hold on the real problems of life. In their added interest and increased support is found the success of the institution...
