...unites a body of men and women from all countries of the world who share a common desire to see a better harmony in the social order. We feel that it is better to adapt ourselves to circumstances than to lay out our own program of what we think ought to come. The Fellowship is simply a movement to give encouragement and a chance for discussion to people with a common point of view, thus helping them in working out a new economic, social, and spiritual unity for the world...
...training the mind and the body, and by forcing a realization of duty to public organizations, particularly to government: duty meaning that they should join in their activities and contribute. Roughly, that is what every college worthy of the name, is trying to do; that is why undergraduates ought to seek to find, first that their own college is trying to do something definite, and second, that in that purpose it is working to the same end that are all other colleges. If the feeling of belonging to a special group can begin in college instead of after, so much...
...litterateur, scientist of philosopher, should be willing both to listen and speak with some degree of care. More than that, he must do so if he is to succeed in his chosen field.

This is certainly a splendid idea; stocked with a battery of such speeches, anyone ought to be a leader in his community, as the circular says. And we inevitably link up such inspiring information with the story of Blenkinson J. Smith, commented on in the same paper. This gentleman-whose name, incidentally, reminds us of J. Throckmorton Cush's we leave to the imagination possible similarities implied by both having J. as initial-but, as we were saying, Mr. Smith is reported to have committed in one day more sins than are recorded in a week's series of book...
This abuse has become so widespread that the cause has been looked for--and found. The purpose of doing away with over-emphasis is to eliminate abuses; yet when those who are abusing are penalized, all factions begin to decry the action. Every college ought individually to see that its linen is clean; if one college is certain that another is playing subsidized athletes, there is no rule compelling it to compete. The present excresences betray internal rottenness; to reduce over-emphasis sufficiently would eliminate abuses...
