Enumerating needs is interesting, particularly in that it usually results in considering the means of satisfying them. The question in our case, however, is not whther we need a new gym more than a dormitory but whether there is any possibility of getting either. The answer is obvious; the University has not the funds to increase the equipment unless it again appeals to graduates for aid. The possibilities in this direction, in view of the difficulty with which the Endowment Fund was completed, are not great...
...Stewart's discovery of "certain curious changes in two of our leading colleges" is not without significance on this most significant day. It is an obvious corollary of his discovery that if Yale goes in for culture, if the Elis are now spending the small hours of the night "bickering about realism", football at New Haven can not be considered of such vital importance as in the days of old.

The most recent stop towards coherency is the proposed plan to furnish light and power to eleven states from a single plant. It is obvious, then, that history in this age of world unity must differ from that of ages past.

Baker, have recognized this fact, and have not carried on a heated campaign...
...laborers ought specifically to be included in this category, one would say, it is those whose business. It is to deliver milk. And yet the milk men in New York are on strike. There is no need to dilate upon the hardship which this is working. It is quite obvious that each a strike causes great suffering especially to the innocent by standers in the struggle: the children...
