...months of college life that remain are but a short time to finish the work for which four years have been devoted, - four years that at the best have been short. To the freshman, unconscious and heedless of the vast field of opportunities spread before him four years seem a long period, but to the senior who has learned by experience those opportunities and who, looking back on them, sees where he has improved them and where he has let them pass, the time seems very short. After all, four years are none too long a period in which...
...course in journalism may seem "delusive" at first glance,-even, perhaps, at a last glance. Yet the course at the University of Chicago has a practical side worth considering.

Ask if you do not feel a lack in your heart which used to lend a certain elasticity to life which is now gone. If all this seems true then you may know that you have...
...this vote also there can be no more freshman glee club or banjo club concerts. The question arises, is this a loss? Again viewing the matter broadly it would seem there is. There are two arguments in favor of the concerts of the freshman musical clubs. In the first place the proceeds of the public performance have always gore to the support of the class crew, and these proceeds have been very considerable. This support has grown to be a regular feature important and necessary to the crew. The crew has grown to rely upon this financial aid each spring...
