Peace by Negotiation? Nevertheless, Peace, not War, was paradoxically the chief concern of all three European belligerents-and most of the rest of the world -last week. Everybody wanted it but no body seemed to know the simplest factors in any plan for getting it-how? where? through whom? at what price...
...middle men"--younger men with more than eight years of experience--bear by far the greatest burden of undergraduate teaching, since they give the most important courses and provide the most competent tutorial instruction.

Experienced, willing, and free from the worries and obligations attendant upon a full professorship, Henry N. Smith, Counsellor in the Union, seems an excellent choice for executive head of the American Civilization Plan. The President would do well to waive the question of rank, and appoint this logical candidate. The Plan perished once from administrative neglect; it is not long likely to display the tenacity...
