...that scale you may see the augmentation of all this. Tropical temperament is very appassionate and in both ways they do politics with ardour. Do you know that actual oppositionists to government use to blow off with bombs concealed in automobiles etc. innocent citizens? Do you know that a poor woman was passing by a street with her two years baby by the hand when a bomb exploded and turned the baby into pieces? Do you know that often bombs explode inside theatres hurting the public? That is the way of opposition. They do this "politic" (?) to put terror...
...introduction of alcohol in any form. This argument can and should be answered by facing that fact known to all, that every college is at the present a perfect reservoir of bad liquor, and that the only influence of beer would be a salutary one leading away from poor gin. There will undoubtedly be other technical difficulties to be overridden. For instance, the beer cannot nominally be handled by the University Dining Halls, but must be dispensed by the individual House Clubs; prices will have to be adjusted with the benefit of the undergraduates in view; and there will doubtless...

When they cut loose from the husband, why not let them go back to their families? Or get out, if their poor old fathers can no longer afford to keep them in the manner to which they are accustomed, and scratch for a living?

Hagen, 105; Mc-Laughlin, 103; Shine, 102. Early in the season B. C. defeated Harvard by a narrow margin...
Another article which takes its cue from this side of the Charles is "College and the Poor Boy Is the Door Closing?" by R. T. Sharpe, secretary of Student Employment at Harvard. Probably the best essay is "A Squire's Complaint," by Walter Pritchard Eaton, the dramatic critic. Mr. Eaton raises his bitter pen against the defilers of our countryside, on the behalf of those urban people who desire to live in it. The government road-builders are shown to be the desecrators they are, and shoddy commercialism in excoriated. One would advise Mr. Eaton to give...
