...time, however, when the wholesale grocers and other business men should consider seriously the problem of lessening the severity of fluctuations in business in the future. Unless we learn the obvious lessons of the past eighteen months, two or three years hence we may find ourselves in exactly the same predicament as today. It is not reasonable to expect that we can eliminate all the ups and downs in business. Nevertheless the fluctuations in business conditions due to the faulty working of our business methods and the lack of foresight on the part of merchants and manufacturers can be corrected...

Goode, who has had a rest since the Princeton game, would seem the obvious choice in the box, except for the fact that the approaching struggle with the University of Pennsylvania promises to make the Crimson need its most powerful combination.

For the rest, none deserve...
...doing damage, because they are not convincing. Nobody takes them seriously. A joke on ourselves is to be laughed at--when it is a good joke. But when invention tires, and the articles become fiat repetitions we do yawn a little and wonder why the editors allow such obvious space-fillers to clutter up their columns.--The Yale News
