...tests to come will hang over them. The traditional antipathy of undergraduates toward the Office will certainly be effaced--temporarily, if not permanently. Benevolent rulers are now enthroned in University Hall, who minister to the needs of their subjects. The greatest of all needs was the force to push that examination schedule back just one week. Salaams before the door of University 4 are now in order by each of the forty-five men who will make up the University quota at Yaphank or some mysterious Federal camp. If unexpected pleasures are the sweetest, the announcement this morning contains...
Another British push drives the Germans toward home, and the pessimists out of sight. The dispellers of cheerfulness had their day when Russia turned inside out, the Plave became No-Man's Land, and New York went back on Mitchel.

This security would be held by the University for a definite period, to be decided by the class. This money at 4 per cent. compound interest, would, if compounded semi-annually, amount...
...latest push of the Allied arms against the German lines is chronicled as the greatest victory in this war, in which all victories have been rather a negation of defeat than success. Some men may be led to the early belief that the power of the enemy is crumbling, and that our gathering armies may not be in at the final dissolution...
