...light of these conditions the solution to this problem which we offered over a week ago still seems to us the most logical one. On the one hand it offers, and this is based on more than our own opinion, sufficient conditioning work to conduct the sport safely. On the other hand it preserves that principles upon which the presidents' agreement was founded, preserves it in the face of the defeatist attitude toward this ideal which was so characteristically expressed in one of our contemporary college dailies as "A Noble Experiment That Failed". --Daily Princetonian
Throughout this article, I have constantly referred to "trained college graduates." Those of us who are devoting all of our time and attention to the problem of training public servants of the highest standards for America's government and semi-public problems, are convinced more and more as time rolls on of the utter lack of wisdom in any effort to "train" for public service, as such, in undergraduate years at college. There are many reasons for this. In the first place, that man who devotes his attention to such "tool" subjects as personnel management, fire and police administration...

Since then not a train has run south of the mainland jump-off station of Homestead. The road estimates that nearly...
...written. Unlike many of his countrymen, Glazounov does not give his music a pervasive tone of pessimism. Instead, he has acquired a spirit of optimism--a product no doubt of the comparatively easy and successful path along which the course of his life has run. To him, the problem in music is that of perfection, not of experimentation. B. G. Wells' description of the man who "walks backwards into the future" might easily be applied to him. Indeed, he has been spoken of as the Russian Brahms because of his respectful reverence for the past. In his Eighth Symphony, Glazounov...
