...conference of the Federation of International Polity Clubs, to be held at Western Reserve University from June 21 to July 1, is a significant and timely event. Its purpose, "to create an enlightened public opinion on a sound foreign policy," is peculiarly interesting in these days, when few know just what our foreign policy is, many suspect that we have none. The list of speakers at the gathering,--Professor Hart, Secretary of War Baker, Senator La Fontaine of Belgium, and others,--is sufficient evidence that this year's conference will be decidedly worth while. Graduates and undergraduates...
...seems entirely probable that sooner or later the combined or Columbia plan, which has now spread throughout the country, will be replaced by the newer or still more distinctive Columbia plan, which is in harmony not only with the educational practice of the rest of the world, but with sound educational theory. The Harvard School of Business Administration, therefore, appeared to the committee to embody the same erroneous principle which had been applied to the law and medical schools. The country has broken away from the Harvard plan in legal and medical education. It seems unlikely that it will follow...

...short distance of the audience and the defect in orchestration has been corrected by the addition of more violins. The number of pieces in the orchestra will total 102. In addition to this the orchestra pit has been constructed over a hollow wooden structure which acts as a sounding box. Another innovation is a curved screen, in front of the footlights, which will throw the volume of sound to the last row of seats. To insure an unobstructed view of the singers by those on the side seats an apron has been extended nine feet out from the front...
...first scheduled contest was between the second school four oars. Wind conditions made it difficult rowing and the shells were tossed about considerably. There was some confusion as to the finish line, for the stroke of the winning Noble and Greenough crew at the sound of the launch's warning whistle before going under the bridge apparently thought the race over and stopped altogether. He noticed his mistake at once, however, and in a final drive increased the lead, crossing the line one length and three-quarters in the lead. Brookline High School was second, with a lead...
