Interest in the Mandolin Club has also been lagging during the past fortnight, and many men have failed to report at the scheduled meetings. They will be expected to come out regularly during the time remaining before the jubilee...
...make peace on terms that appear on their face reasonable and moderate. Such an offer might well beguile the Allies into a delusive peace. The peace would be delusive for unless the principle of militarism is destroyed, the promises would be kept no better than those broken in the past.

The teams are equal in strength; the spirit is there; the undergraduates feel that the time for adding to our string of victories has again come. We welcome Yale as our guests. With many of our best men leaving next week for Government service, today's contest...
