...Reasons are not wanting for the new step at the Naval Academy. It is pointed out that the midshipmen's social standing after graduation hinges upon their ability to distinguish between a putter and a mashie and that since they will associate with groups who indulge in the divertissement they must be among the initiated. Furthermore, those who have their welfare at heart emphasize the fact that the Navy develops men, not wallflowers, another reason why its protegees must know their golf. Indeed, it appears as though superdreadnoughts are going to be deserted for country clubs and the domain...
...reason why Harvard athletic authorities have chosen to abandon the non-scouting system is not, as one might suppose from a perusal of the Yale News' editorial on the subject, because they were naturally distrustful of the plan. Certainly preconceived antipathies might have been entertained by Harvard, but in entering into a non-scouting agreement those antipathies were laid aside; the system was given a fair trial--a trial based on the actual merits of the plan, not on prejudices either for or against its success.

...course (and with reason) that the interest taken in this subject is negligible when compared to that manifested by the Roman multitude in, the persecutions of the Christians. One may also maintain that the modern concern in this matte is purely philosophical: but there is little justification for this latter assumption. The modern attitude toward this subject, though of much smaller proportions than the ancient, is, nevertheless, of exactly the same nature. It is a vulgar pleasure taken in the knowledge of the mental agony experienced by "those about to die". But possibly the fault lies equally with the journalist...
