...untruth, the fallacy, or, on the other hand, the worth of an argument. Weight of academic authority counts for little to the university student who is accustomed to listen daily to men famous over the civilized world. The trustees of Columbia, as of other colleges, fail to realize the spirit of criticism in which the undergraduate mind is constantly being trained. Their action is such a matter as that of loyalty or disloyalty to the Government is wholly unnecessary. No more patriotic body exists today than the members of the American colleges and universities. They may be relied upon...
...squad through its last long practice yesterday afternoon with as much snap as usual. After the customary ten minutes of shooting and passing the first team lined up against the second. The scrimmage was not an exhibition of perfect hockey; its one notable feature was the aggressive spirit shown by the second team, which resulted in frequent spills and which, in a game, would have rapidly reduced the number of men on the ice. The final score was 2 to 2. The first seven's team play continued strong save for occasional erratic passes and a tendency of forwards...

Every good cause thrives by opposition. The illogical antagonism of the so-called pacifists brings into bold relief the value of discipline and methodical life incident to military training. One valuable result of their opposition has been a renascence of the patriotic spirit of our youth, who today clamor for participation in the various training camps. Never since the last war has this vitalizing element made itself so plainly evident...
...followed by a short fifteen minute scrimmage between the regulars and a scrub team composed of the B. A. A. backs and the second string forwards, who distinguished themselves by scoring two goals while the University seven was unable to secure one. The second team showed a more aggressive spirit than did the first, and in addition the brilliant playing and stick work of T. K. Fisher '17 and R. Baldwin '17 was responsible for the result. It is probable that if the play had been continued longer the first team would have come out in the lead...
