...faithfully executed. No Executive has been more watchful and vigorous in the fulfilling of that trust than our present Executive. The most powerful interests in the land recognize that, and the masses are grateful in their recognition of his services. The more powerful the capitalistic interests grow, the more need is there that the rights of the masses be guarded, and that their justified grievances be redressed. And so long as we are faithful to this fundamental doctrine there is not now, nor can there ever be, any room in our country for communism, collectivism, socialism, or any other imported...

To be sure the chances of a championship in the water sports are bound to be greatly reduced as long as we are without a University tank; but without proper support the team will be helplessly handicapped.

This idea no longer accords with existing circumstances, since it ignores these four indispensable layers of democratic society; first, a thin, upper layer, consisting of a managing, leading, organizing class; second, a layer comprised of handworkers, who make their living...
...Berlin this condition is more apparent then at other universities, for at Bonn, Heidelberg and the other provincial universities there is more esprit de corps. At none of the European universities is there any development of athletics corresponding to ours. Compulsory service in the army supplies in part the need of physical training, but the absence of athletics makes student life lack variety. The Germans work harder in their courses, and with the felling that these are a definite part of their professional life. Undoubtedly this concentration is for the ultimate benefit of professional and academic life...
