...nation or the number of its trained re serves. Since the military might of France is chiefly based on the huge number of her annually conscripted reserves and the vast supplies of guns, shells and tanks always at their disposal, the pur pose of the French move was obvious. Last week Lord Cecil demanded, in the name of the new British Labor Government, that both war stocks and trained reserves should be put back on the list of "armaments" which the Preparatory Commission is seeking ways to reduce. Stressing particularly the urgency of limiting engines of warfare, Lord Cecil cried...
...present situation in universities and colleges The New Republic receives frequent communications--the low salaries of professors and the rising fees for tuition. It is not often that the same correspondent protests against both evils, at any rate in the same letter. The connection between them is too obvious--one is an attempt to remedy the other. It is true that the student's tuition fee seems to have increased more rapidly than the wage of his instructor.

...certain almost obvious axioms in the study of American competitive sport are to be accepted, collegiate circles will not be the last to foresee the possibility of a future invasion of professionalism upon fields that have thus far been represented mainly by the amateur. It was not such a far cry to the professional conquest of hockey, while the present invasion of football, although not yet a conquest by any means, is an established fact. Professionalism steps in where angels fear to tread as is evidenced by recent attempts to commercialize even the most commonplace dance marathon, let alone...
