...undergraduates it is fair to say that its print is clearer, its grammar purer, and its typographical mistakes fewer, than that of almost any daily paper in the country. Indeed through the whole series of Monthly articles we can- not at times help feeling that the writers mistake the object of the CRIMSON. It has not perhaps the Lampoon's originality, the critical ability of the Review of Reviews, the sensations of the American, or the bulk of the Congressional Digest. Its chief mission after all is to give daily news and along these lines alone is it fairly...

Although the conference of 1899 did not succeed in its main object, namely, to reduce the armed forces and the armament of the nations of the world, it did accomplish one great thing, the establishment of a permanent court which makes it improbable in the highest degree that civilized nations will go to war without first using every other possible resource, and unless...
