Senator Pepper last week completely altered his attitude. He is not only prepared to accept the World Court, but also the League with reservations. Said he: " In my judgment, as the discussion of the International Court proceeds, a sentiment for something bigger and more definite is likely to develop. . . . The League of Nations is being crystalized into the kind of association which the United States can enter." Critics are inclined to comment that it is Senator Pepper and not the League who has " moved over." This is the man who, as Vice President of the League for the Preservation...

Interesting as it is to encourage such expressions of interest in political affairs, whether such undergraduate sentiment has the slightest effect upon the settlement of the affairs of state may certainly be questioned. Student attitude in this country is usually either totally disregarded, or wafted lightly aside as of little importance. At all events, it is given far less consideration than in Europe, where the universities are unfailing sources of political fervor, and often become powerful factors in the decision of national policy. Along with the urgent appeals for a more general interest of educated men in matters of politics...
