...spite of Sherman anti-trust acts and 'big sticks,' the movement toward monopoly continues," said Harry W. Laidler, Executive Director of the League for Industrial Democracy, last night at a meeting of the Liberal Club in the Lowell House Common Room. "However," he continued, "big monopolies make Socialism easy." Dr. Laidler also claimed that the separation of ownership and management which is so widespread today invalidates the argument that industry can be run only with profit as an incentive...
...same situation can be found at Harvard. The emptiness of the stadium, during the last two years had doubtless suggested to the H.A.A. the advisability of packing the schedule with difficult games which would draw greater attendance. But in spite of pressure, even from within, the Director of Athletics has wisely and consistently refused to acquiesce. Should Harvard release Yale from the September 15 agreement, it will simply mean that football practice at Cambridge will have to commence sooner, that sniffer schedules will eventually be arranged; it will mean a return to all the emphasis and ballyhoo from which Harvard...
...left guard our betters have been picking the scholar-athlete of Hanover, Michelet, and in spite of the Army's Gooch, the Indian seems to be the best that opponents have brought to the Stadium.

The one iron and strychnine tonic to prevent this disaster is Interest. To quicken interest there is one sure formula, to capture fancy in the topic for debate. If the sponsors of the innovation act wisely, they will not choose exotic and ephemeral topics for their discussions, such as the intellectual status of the undergraduate...
...position as treasurer of the College, wanted to get them out of court as soon as possible, is hard to tell. James Alling, whose age Danforth wrote down as "about 17," was the Freshman in whose rooms the party started. It is interesting to note that in spite of his early difficulties with authority and his drinking habits as a Freshman. Alling managed to graduate number three in the class of 1679. Thomas Barnard, another Freshman, was one behind him as number four in the same class, while the third Harvard man, Thomas Cheever, a Junior at the time...
