...will not be induced or forced to overstep the safeguards of industrial rights and block the highways of opportunity for the humblest citizen of the land. There can be no liberty without opportunity, and to the extent that opportunity is abridged, whether by the state or by cor- porate power, it is denial of liberty. It is oppression, and it is no less oppression when it emanates from organized capital or from organized labor. The fundamental principles of individual liberty lie at the basis of our political system, and no more sacred duty rests upon the Chief Executive under...
...real humorist of the automobile to show us the conflict between the irate pedestrian and horseman who madly curses all drivers of cars as predatory rich and as pirates, and the wild honk-honk man who whirls from the highway all who do not drive sixty-horse power machines... The punctured tire, the wayside repairs before a humerous audience, the superior man who gives advice, and all the other things of which an automobilist dreams are left untouched; perhaps we may get, a sufficient compensation in the really humorous picture of Pegasus up to date, provided with side-lights, horn...

This was characteristic of the other tugs also. The final pull was won by the Freshmen. The human wheelbarrow race was very amusing, and resulted in a victory for W. M. Rand...
...rallying to the occasion. Much as some disapprove of the methods adopted, there is no doubt that this country is undergoing an unprecedented moral awakening, that lends the greatest importance to the coming campaign. It is an opportunity for the Political Club to become an active power for good; but if neglected, it will shake our confidence in the ability of undergraduate organizations to deal ably with the larger questions beyond the horizon of college life...
