...faculty and institution of a university are for but one purpose--the mental and physical development of the students. But although they can help, the main test lies with the student himself." He then went on to say that statistics compiled by the faculty have shown that the attainment of scholarship in the Graduate Schools corresponds directly with that obtained by men while undergraduates in the University. President Lowell ended by pointing out that if a man puts his best into his studies and also into his outside activities the former will take less tme, and will increase in standard...
...present students who took an active part in the great struggle, has lost a larger number than any other institution. The figures, which have just been compiled, are not complete, as men are still dying of wounds suffered or diseases contracted during the war. It is safe to say that the whole number of those who have been killed will be close to 6,000 when the final returns...
...University has been very good in placing this part of Widener Library at our disposal, and I must say that Cambridge and the College as a whole has contributed most generously to the organization.

...recent intercollegiate debate was battered until it had, so to speak, not a keg to stand on, while its more soberly-inclined colleague went down utterly before the forces of booze, news of the generous distribution of gold and silver medals among the two unhappy teams is astonishing to say the least, besides giving color to the rumors that Harvard is fast becoming Prussianized. We are told that the Germans were accustomed to stimulate their troops after a "strategic retreat" by a wholesale dispensation of Iron Crosses. If the Debating Council is pursuing this plan, then we heartily approve...
