...importance in any consideration of student government at Princeton is the Honor System, Princeton's most cherished institution. It was founded in 1893 and has been the model for the system adopted in a large number of universities and colleges of the country. The operation of the system is simple and is entirely in the hands of an undergraduate Honor Committee, whose recommendations are always carried out by the Faculty...
...attempt to fight cleanly or in good form. As a result of this, boxing in the University is at present confined to intramural contests. Nonetheless boxing has become a recognized sport in many of the chief eastern colleges; the recent match between Yale and M. I. T. was a model for fast and skilful fist-work. The present custom of two-minute periods with a decision at the end of three or four rounds, together with strict refereeing, has apparently eliminated the features which formerly made boxing objectionable. There is plenty of first-class material in the University at present...

There is no intention of sinking the two out-of-date American vessels. Dummy bombs will be used upon them.

If Germany had been forced to give the United States a large sum of gold coin in place of these vessels we would not dump it into...
...lately perfected, will infallibly sink a cruiser at sea if exploded within a hundred feet of it. The Germans-General Maitrot seems to have certain information of this-are no more idle, the Krupp engineers have completed a 309 mm. quick-firing, soundless gun. They are working on a model halfway between the French 75 mm., and the German 77 mm. field gun, with a range of ten kilometres, and are trying to make it soundless as well. With soundless guns and sightless statesmen the next war will be even more glorious than the last. -New Republic...
Governor Miller's message on the enforcement of the prohibition amendment and the Volstead law is a model of clarity and logic. It disposes of all opposition in the epigrammatic declaration: "The honest enforcement of the law may lend to its modification: the tolerated disobedience of it can only breed disorder and create contempt for all law." In these words Governor Miller sets forth a fundamental principle. There has been a strong tendency here abouts to place the Eighteenth Amendment and the Volstead law in a class apart and to talk and act as if a citizen were free...
