...parts of the country, its relations with the schools which have sent their young graduates to Cambridge for many years remain intimate. Recently published figures on this year's freshman class show that Boston Latin and Roxbury Latin, which three centuries ago initiated an annual trek across the Charles, possess 113 and 12 representatives, respectively. Three other schools, whose associations with Harvard are relatively brief because they were established only a century or more ago, also sent goodly delegations: Phillips Exeter, 95; Phillips Andover, 51; and Milton Academy, 39.

His innovations have been genuine improvements in the technique of poetry...
...Japanese attack probable. While there is some truth in their fears, the effect on the whole would be to withdraw the United States from the tangled intrigues of Oriental diplomacy, at once lessening the chance of war. As for the moral trembling lest any other green-eyed dragon should possess herself of these territories, there is the material satisfaction that if they attempted to do so, the United States would not have to go to war on the other side of the Pacific about the situation. Japanese capital will undoubtedly develop Philippine markets in the future, and the islands will...
