There are certain times in the year when the Freshman's duty to his class and thus to the College is to turn out and march. Today is one of those times. Class spirit and Kanrich's band should stir every 1916 man to join the parade to Soldiers Field to see the class team meet its deadliest yet worthiest rival in an effort to continue the clean sweep which 1916 teams have so far had over Yale 1916.

The poems all have sincerity, imagination and force...
...program of social amelioration, and has to assume for that purpose peculiarly serious responsibilities and call to its aid portentous political and technical powers. On the other hand, if a democracy adopts the machinery of direct government and then uses the power so obtained in a jealous and suspicious spirit, it will be losing itself in the blindest and most confusing of all political labyrinths. Direct government will fall and be superseded unless the electorate uses its discretionary authority on behalf of the policy of social betterment and unless it consents to be delegation of effective subordinate Powers to human...
