...viewing the problem from all sides, there is a great task before tonight's assemblage. The gathering should not welsh by choosing Walsh, as it has done twice previously, nor should it hit on Glass as a light in the darkness. It ought to garner its votes carefully. So many things must be remembered, as for example the farmers' approval of Baker. It is not inconceivable that Smith might forge ahead of the party again. In case they get stuck, they can walk softly with Roosevelt. This is not impossible, for in making Donkeys of themselves the delegates...
...they are at present constituted, divisionals loom as a major operation, which one approaches with a sort of desperation. The detailed part of these examinations ought to be given in the third year, and the Senior exams should be single (choice of several) essay questions on broad subjects of one's field.

The burden imposed upon the resources of the American people by the liquor business far exceeds the cost of maintaining all the armies of Europe. Once let the American people realize how they are held up and robbed by this highwayman...
...Crimson's outburst was not taken very seriously beyond Cambridge. At Princeton the Daily Princetonian politely opined that "the man who can show himself capable of carrying through the double task ought to be given every feasible encouragement and opportunity to undertake it." The New York World-Telegram, citing Herbert Hoover as a student who worked his way through college, exclaimed: "There would be more sense in barring those who earn none of their expenses than those who earn...
