...give much expression to their views on political and national subjects. It is not, however, as some critics claim, because the undergraduate possesses no such views. Representing all parts of the United States, the University should be a clearing-house of political doctrines and should approximately express national sentiment. Now is the time of postal card canvasses and straw votes. To discover the political complexity of the University the CRIMSON has arranged for a presidential ballot next Tuesday, at which students can pick the man they think should guide the nation for the next four years...
...Athletic Committee can afford to allow itself to be guided in this matter by undergraduate sentiment. As Mr. Herrick said, crew like other sports, belongs to the undergraduates and should be managed by them.

It is futile now to blame the committee...
...being managed. The mere appropriation of a vast sum of money will not cause the necessary reorganization in order that actual conditions may be improved; in order that we may have a needed change in the way of military reform, which should be forced upon Congress by a widespread sentiment. This investigation and knowledge has been denied to the people by the leaders of the party in power; and it is deplorable that there should be an attempt to deceive the people in a matter of such vital importance...
