...moment to the Hague court, one of the most important instances of the triumph of Mr. Taft's administration over those obstacles is that supplied by the work of The Hague tribunal having brought before it the fisheries question between the United States and Great Britain. Elihu Root, ex-Secretary of War and of State, and now United States Senator from New York, has rendered many and great services to his country; and among these great services is that which he rendered last summer when in charge of the American case at The Hague. Nor was this service only...
...contempt among the nations of mankind, would be to abandon the work of upbuilding the United States Navy and to refrain from fortifying the Panama Canal. The conduct of the misguided men who advocate such policies stands in the most striking contrast to work like that of Elihu Root at The Hague last summer, work which represented in the highest sense applied morality because it represented the successful performance of that most difficult feat, the efficient putting into practice in any concrete case of the principles which must obtain if we are ultimately to establish justice, achieved through peaceful methods...

...editorial in Saturday's CRIMSON in regard to the method of conducting section meetings seems to me to be very good as far as it goes, but I do not think that it reaches the real root of the evil. I believe the true source of the trouble lies not so much in the method of conducting these meetings, as in the section men themselves. To these men is often entrusted the whole conduct of the course. They read the weekly papers, grade the hour examinations, theses, and finals. The professor often gives these men absolute power over the grades...
