...must be said that in view of all that is passing in the world, the contributors to the current Monthly seem somewhat strangely "untouched by solemn thought." There is, to be sure, an editorial directed against the "Harvard Prussianism" with which the "Union for American Neutrality" was greeted. In two of the eleven poems in the number-- "My Peace I Leave With You," by Robert S. Hillyer, and "The Hour," by W. A. Norris--one hears at least an echo from the present upheaval of mankind.

With only eight days left before the opening of Princeton's 1917 baseball schedule, the team's prospects for a successful season seem to rest almost entirely on whether or not a dependable pitcher can be discovered or developed.

Harvard has furnished some conspicuous examples of this indiscretion on the part of teachers to whom our national declarations of neutrality seem to have meant nothing whatever. This may be due in part to the fact that college professors are usually men of strong convictions and in part to the fact that not a few of them have a kindly feeling toward Germany by reason of their years of study spent...
