This is step No. 2 in reorganizing the executive branch of the Government. Step No. 1 was the transfer of the Patent Office from the Interior to the Commerce Department. For many moons, there has been general agreement that there ought to be a reorganization to get rid of duplication, overlapping functions and a thousand and cue causes of inefficiency for which poor organization is responsible. A special commission drew up a law for reorganization, but Congress has not enacted...
...after another of the Things People Look Down On have, so to speak, been officially blessed by people who ought to know what they are talking about, until all rules of classification have been badly shaken, if not wholly destroyed. Jazz and moving pictures were brought into the fold by Gilbert Seldes, in his book "The Seven Lively Arts," and Mr. Seldes has now stretched an arm into limbo and brought back the comic strip, which has long been devoured avidly by children, and surreptitiously by grown-ups. It seems that comic strips, when done by such competent artists...
There is also a bright side to the picture. With the trio of aces, Watters, Haggerty, and Tibbetts, Harvard ought to win first in the half-mile and two-mile. Yale has no men who can approach the previous performances of these three. It is not unlikely that the dual meet records in these events will fall. Captain Dunker in the shotput and Berglund in the hammer will each add five more points to the team's score...
With Miller out of condition, Norton, Yale's star who scored 12 points in the intercollegiates, ought to win both the 100 and the 200 yard dashes. Either Peck or Lundell should place in these events.

The broad jump is conceded to Norton of Yale, intercollegiate champion. Comins and Deacon are likely to shut out Harvard's men in this event. The latter should win the high jump, being capable of jumping over...
...coming to be recognized, however, by more and more students, especially as they approach their Senior year that their college education ends at the point where it really ought to begin. It seems to them that many of the facts acquired for the first time in college could have been learned more profitably in preparatory or high school; and they feel that the entire fabric of American education needs revision to allow for greater freedom for individual thinking in the colleges...
