...suffrage and a more democratic government. Whether an industrial, bourgeois bureaucracy will take the place left vacant by the crowned oligarchy of the Genro and the military party is uncertain. What is clear is that a grave crisis confronts the nation. If, as is more than possible, Japan has outgrown herself, if she holds a position in the world today out of all proportion to her size because of the feudal organization of her people; she will gradually decline with the increase of democracy. Her new leaders will have to face the same problems as the men of the past...
Dean Pound's annual report, made public recently points out how greatly the Law School has outgrown its present accommodations. The pressure of increased enrollments, felt in all departments of the University, is particularly acute in the Law School and no effective remedy is immediately at hand. Approximately a thousand students are enrolled in the school and, as Dean Pound makes clear, sections meeting now are larger than the whole classes for which the lecture rooms were planned.

The large university has never claimed to train scholars as schoolboys are taught. It makes no pretensions now to teach...
...been a great deal of discussion as to the most fitting memorial for the Harvard dead. One of the suggestions has been for an auditorium which will serve for those functions which a large part of the University would attend. Prominent speakers, mass meetings, commencement exercises (which have long outgrown Sanders Theatre), concerts, Dramatic Club plays, and things of like character would then have adequate housing, and consequently become more popular. By all means, let us adopt this suggestion, which would combine a splendid memorial with the fulfillment of a great need...
