...pointed out in this column last October, the bill will increase the price of foreign-language books, and English books published more than twenty years ago, by an amount ranging from 20 to 33 1-3 percent. Such a proposal comes to mean little more than a direct tax on education, a fine that any man must pay for the privilege of adding to his mental store. It has not been usual in past economic systems to regard learning as a material commodity. To make it dutiable now, as Mr. Fordney inadvertently proposes to do, is to bring...

Such a prolonged absence from practice is liable to have a bad effect on the team.

...Some of us can be bound together by the tradition of indifference; the rest must have some more tangible bond of interest. Were it not for the appeal of athletics or of competitions for managerships, our school boys would fly off like feathers before an electric fan; Harvard would mean nothing to them, and the Subway would become for then, the only vehicle of self-expression. This fortunately, is but one of the many justifications for athletics; it is the only justification for college spirit...
