Self-government for the benefit of all the governed will be an idle dream until inside information about the facts of the government becomes possible. Monopoly of information must precede monopoly of franchise. When all men are looking, corrupt politicians walk quite as straight a line as college presidents. As the Independent said recently, in urging a permanent endowment for the Bureau of Municipal Research, "Attempts at reform have failed in New York and elsewhere because the Republican and Democratic Tammany Halls of our cities have had inside information and have been able to make black look white because...
...fundamental fault of our athletics from a competitive standpoint. Those who select a coach who is defeated in his first year night support him again, but their power is gone as well as his. Another captain holds the floor, and another committee passes upon his recommendations. We must, therefore, look to this committee to conduct itself in such a manner that its members will be the natural leaders next year.

Among the other pieces of verse, the "Tempest" is worth mentioning...
...coloring is a failure; the green is too poisonous, deadly so when laid in the purple. The rest of the drawing is mediocre. Perhaps the best of the illustrations is that to "Passing his Exam" (p. 209), which has considerable character and life. One cannot, to be sure, look for expert illustrative work in a college paper. But it would seem that, with some study and imitation of good models, far better results might be attained. One feels, for example, that Lampy might study the method and technique of the drawings in, say Fliegende Blatter and Le Rire, with considerable...
