...McVeagh discusses prohibition in much the manner of the adept writer of theses, but with evident thoughtfulness, which makes his work readable and often highly interesting. "The Beaver"--a character study of a most likable beaver--is well written, Mr. Strouts' "Problem of Economics" is admirable of its kind, and Mr. Munsey's translation "From the Spanish" has a quality unusual in undergraduate publications.

In the Student Council's decision to admit one or more representatives of the Cosmopolitan Club to its membership, much progress has been made in the solution of this difficulty...
Would not converting the fortnightly conferences into a compulsory course with a half-point credit for a year's work solve the problem? The plan should certainly be continued as it is most beneficial in linking up a student's single courses and in filling up the gaps in his chosen period. The realization of the fact that he was being closely marked on his work and that he was gaining credit for his efforts would make the average student apply himself to his tutorial conferences. Debates at conferences between students or written essays and reports upon the assigned work...
