...Wars in the future are likely to become more rather than less barbarous, and mankind must either lose its civilization in the blast of war or contrive some means of stopping it," President Lowell remarked at a dinner at the Congress Hotel, Chicago, Ill., Saturday evening, held by a committee of 70 for the stablishment of a state organization of the League to Enforce Peace. The object of the dinner was "to consider a program for a permanent league of nations to become effective at the end of the present war." President Lowell will return to Cambridge today...

English F takes care of the worst cases, but the kind of penmanship that "gets by" in college--though even here a disadvantage to the writer--would, in later life, lose many a man his job. When an instructor runs through a pile of blue-books or a number of weekly themes, their neatness may not receive official notice, yet no matter what the content may be, orderly writing cannot fail to make a favorable impression--with a consequent and deserved...
