...rules. This is almost a period of laissez faire, so far as any general clean-up-athletics move goes. In its place exist the intricate individual agreements that hold only within small groups of colleges; this is in line with the increasing apartness of institutions, now in the phase of leagues, and perhaps eventually to be narrowed down everywhere to the meeting of only two or three rival colleges a year. Under such conditions the administration of amateur rules is simplified for those to whom their enforcement makes any difference: the limited number in a league makes possible the application...
...Federal Trade Commission's investigation, which was the outcome of the Walsh resolution, was the confined, in its opening phase, to the so-called public relations and educational activities of the public utilities, especially the National Electric Light Association. The investigation developed the fact that a systematic, nation-wide organization, termed by its critics a "propaganda machine", was operated by the light and power interests to influence public sentiment through the press and the schools and colleges...

Admitted that the motive of staging dramas for the first time is commendable, and that the box-office approves of the show in syncopated measure, there must be some recourse other than that of this spring. The value of the Club that could give American premieres in the same season of plays by Goldoni and Capek has been immense. It need not descend to a stereotyped school...
