Professor Edward Carroll Moore, of the Department of Education, has accepted the appointment as president of the Los Angeles Normal School, to take effect on August 1. Professor Moore will complete the academic year at the University and expects to leave for California some time in the early part of the summer. The Los Angeles Normal School, with an enrolment of 1,600, has become a school of considerable influence, and Professor Moore accepted the new position under instructions to develop the normal school into a teachers' college...
...days left before the opening of Princeton's 1917 baseball schedule, the team's prospects for a successful season seem to rest almost entirely on whether or not a dependable pitcher can be discovered or developed. Last year Coach Clarke, confronted with much the same problem during the first part of the season, was able to fall back on Link, but this year there is no one on the pitching staff of Link's experience.

...means, too, that he must have some part in the spiritual commonwealth for which all else is little but a scaffolding. This does not mean that a knowledge of Latin declensions is a natural right. But it does mean that each human being should have some means of expression, some way of inviting his soul. Many different arts and crafts and sports may furnish these means. Any system of education which leaves them out is narrow and pedantic. Such a system must fail just as the so-called classical education has failed...
