...Intercollegiates, the following Friday and Saturday, furnished a fitting climax to the 1921 track season. Before the meet no one thought that the Crimson runners had a chance to win, or even to come nearer the top than third place. That this was a mistaken idea was shown by the final score. The team gave an inkling of its strength in the trials on Friday, when it qualified more men than any other team entered, but the finals on Saturday showed conclusively that the rejuvenation of the Crimson team was complete, and that it should be rated with the best...
...reviewer, however, is not satisfied to give his readers this single impression that Dean Clark writes out of a rather limited experience. Later in his article he implies that it is possible that the Dean is mistaken in his assertion that the college undergraduate does not differ widely in characteristics whether we meet him in California or Massachusetts; in Michigan or Mississippi. Now Dean Clark has had rather a wide experience with young men; he graduated from Illinois in 1890, and studied as a graduate student at the University of Chicago, in 1894, and at Harvard...

The Fourteen Points, the great aim of "making the world safe for democracy"--all the idealism which had been...
...mistake for us to feel that prices are going to get back within a few months to a level which it took over twelve years to reach after the Civil War. Some people think that prices will never go back to this level, but I believe they are mistaken. However, it will take a long time for them to get there. Another point which might be made here is that this talk about the return of business activity being dependent upon the fall of prices is ridiculous. We will have a resumption of business activity long before the general price...
