...conclusion is obvious. People are beginning to find a real dissatisfaction with the predigested syrups that the moving pictures have been feeding them without a let-up. In this discovery, lies the only real remedy. Censorship by a few cannot help being prejudiced and narrowed by environment; but a wholesale spontaneous boycott of the "movies" by the people en masse,--and at present 20,000,000 attend the "pictures" in one week,--will bring up the level of production as nothing else can. The producers can take their choice of cutting out the usual aimless bromides, and bringing...

The Red Book Committee has not made any radical changes--and in that it has shown...
...University nine will meet a different Princeton team when it faces the Tigers in the second game of the annual series at 3 o'clock this afternoon at Princeton, N. J. Last Saturday the Crimson players had little difficulty in piling up a 13-1 score, but it was obvious that the Tigers had an off day. In commenting on the game Coach Slattery said that Princeton had a much better team than appeared in the first game and that the victory was a result not so much of any remarkable hitting on the part of the University...
