A study of the recent French strategy immediately suggests the possibility of asking youthful violators of the gentlemen's agreement to turn over their summer earnings to the funds of their Alma Mater's athletic association and begin life over again. Besides greatly improving the quality of the nation's athletic teams it might swell the A. A. surpluses to such size that various institutions might finish their gymnasiums and have an endowment...

It has numerous implications, depending on the use to which the dining halls in the new Vanderbilt Square are put. The varying interpretations as to what it will imply, however, are as confusing as they are exasperating. All of which brings up the old proverb that if a dog bites a man, it's not news, but if a man bites a dog, it is news. The man has evidently bitten the dog in this case. Sheff, is to have...
