...could be made, the responsibility would be shifted to the student. For example, if a certain course were announced this year as "probably omitted in 1924-25", those wishing to take that course would have to take the statement at its face value, and lay corresponding plans. Some such scheme, exemplified by complete notes on definitely foreseen omissions--regular, alternating or irregular--would go a long way towards lessening the frequency and severity of upsets occasioned by the fateful "To be omitted...
...rather when enter it knowing that it was over full. "Force-warned is forearmed," and no one need be forced to remain in a course discovered at the last minute to be overflowing because it was too difficult to find an acceptable substitute at such short notice. Some such scheme for equalizing registration from year to year and eliminating the present game of blind man's buff is the logical answer to the situation as it now exists...
...personal feeling is that we must restrict the law profession to those whom we know to have had, in addition to an adequate preparation at college and at a certified law school, a thorough moral grounding.

In this system, the higher grade of lawyers would be permitted to practice in the inner bar, while those failing to attain this position, either from moral or legal failings, would have to content themselves with...
...Another reason why I object to the proposed scheme is that the St. Lawrence route, even when improved, would not be feasible for ocean-going ships. The channels proposed by the Joint Commission are not of a depth to accommodate vessels of a draft which can be navigated economically. Specially strengthened ships must be constructed to navigate the St. Lawrence in safety. The damages from Icebergs, tides, and fogs are so great and losses so frequent that the Maritime Insurance rate is heavy enough to be a serious handicap. Moreover the delays in the restricted channels of the river would...
...present moment most seriously menaced, not by the Bolshevist or Socialist, but by men and women consciously or unconsciously trying to foist on this country the ideals of the old German Empire, to impose on us a system of regulation, interference and censorship in the place of our old scheme of individual liberty. They would regulate the life of the poor man for what they believe to be his good; they would censor his amusements and his reading of the State, but they do not realize that in doing this they are putting an end to that system of individual...
