Some time ago, before the Treaty had been done to death, a wise man said that the only place where it was safe to be a rabid pro-German in this country was in the United States Senate. Senator Borah, with his horrid fears that poor Germany was going to be crushed; Senator Reed, who was elected by the Germans of St. Louis; Senator Johnson, who apparently preferred, as long as the dear Germans could not keep Shantung, to do anything rather than let the "despicable Japanese" have what was promised them--all of them played into Germany's hands...
...love, sentiments worthy of Mr. Bryan or the Kaiser's agents--in America. It asks Mr. Wilson to use "thoughtful deliberation rather than hasty or injudicious action." To those who keep in mind the previous policies of the President, this portion of the platform seems rather useless. The most rabid Republican would never accuse him of being hasty or injudicious in making war on foreign nations. And again we are informed that "there is general misunderstanding and unnecessary alarm." This assertion is ridiculcus.

...Freshmen in the dormitories by the river. This morning we are all shamed by the announcement of the rules which have been passed. For once, Being and Not-Being have become nearly one. The few simple regulations for future Freshmen will silence even those who have been most rabid in their antipathy to the parietal schemes which had occurred to them. We are glad to know that attendance at meals in the dormitories will not be compulsory, that men will not have to be in at ten or out all night, and that the Goodies will not be used...
