...been obliterated. Great issues have become more identified with personal than with political partisanship, as the Treaty fight has shown. In both the old parties the more radical elements are threatening to wrest the sceptre from the grasp of the "Old Guard." With elements in both parties striving to outdo each other in radicalism, there will be an opportunity for constructive statesmanship untainted with reaction to acquire the political balance of power, without the disruption which attends the birth of a third party. This is the opportunity for patriotic service which the Chicago and San Francisco conventions should not allow...
...Though Armstrong played a strong game, fighting continually, the issue of the match was never in doubt after the early part of the first set, when Armstrong did his best work, and for a few games held the lead.

We now have one of the most wonderful railroad systems...
...that it is desired by the political managers that Harvard shall send on a delegation to attend the Inauguration at Washington on March 4, and that the newspapers are hinting that the delegation should be a large one, so that Harvard may outdo Yale and be assigned to the head of the procession. I cannot refrain from expressing the hope that Harvard will send no delegation, but will remain quietly at home and attend to her own affairs. Quite apart from political questions and whether one wishes to endorse the course of the government or not, it seems...
