...drop is due to the departure of enemy students and the decrease of students from friendly and neutral countries. Still, all alien and enemy students have not gone; there are sixty-two Russian students, two English five Italian and one Belgian, but they are doubtless of German origin, or possibly a cosmopolitan class of mosaic nationality.

...ideal relation has never been attained. There have been epochs which have seen a practically impregnable defence, due to stringent regulater, this balancing of power of attack while on the other hand there have been periods when scoring seemed too easy of accomplishment. The present situation has its origin in the changes which were made in the rules in the winter of 1905; there have been various recommendations since then, but in large bulk the offensive processes that we see today date, generally at least, from that time.

A great many staid conservative students wander unsuspectingly into Economics A, and are startled to learn that protectionism is not a doctrine of certified divine origin. It worries them for a time to find that the universe of thought is not entirely plotted into straight, narrow, and exclusive paths; then they weather the crisis and return smugly to the old beliefs. But this stirring up has done some good; and more stirrings up would do more...
