...named in honor of Joseph Choate is awarded annually to a deserving Englishman for study at Harvard. In its conditions of award, purpose, and income, it corresponds closely to a Rhodes scholarship, but it is limited to students of Cambridge University. Many more such funds are needed, and their scope should be widened to include the other universities of England, particularly Oxford. Such a fund, from a purely selfish point of view, would be much to the advantage of Harvard. Just as the Rhodes foundation has led Americans in general to think of Oxford first on the list of English...
...landladies of Cambridge. The Phillips Brooks House is doing a real service to new students by helping them in this way. It is a service, however, for which the college office should properly be responsible.

Books pertaining to History, Government, Economics, Physics and Chemistry are especially in demand...
...meeting of the Associated Southern Yale Clubs, two speeches, one by President Hadley, the other by an undergraduate representative, illustrated two points of view on the much discussed subject of college democracy. President Hadley declared that the universities should be "national in scope and not represent the provincial viewpoint of a single district, Church, or class of society",--very much in the vein of Doctor Angell's talk a week ago. The class antagonism which explains many of the troubles in the outside world must not enter the colleges, if they are to play their part successfully. The other speaker...
