...cheered when the CRIMSON republished Dr. Lake's article on education. It is a stalwart blow against a pernicious fallacy. Editorial Honoris Causa No. 2 depressed me, for it is no way true that "success in life is based upon detailed study of facts," at least for those few who do not wish to become Berlin statisticians. It is if possible even more false that universities have any such raison d'etre. Instructors who think so mistake the proper means of teaching us "how to think and to find out things for themselves."

As assets, there are Barker, a transfer from the University of Missisippi; White, the veteran linesman; Coleman, the All-Southern guard, and Ward. Carrington, Gooch...
Wallace is still ineligible. There is a rumor that last year's stalwart centre, may yet be able to play later in the season. The rule at Harvard is more strict that that at Yale in regard to men who have played major sports at other colleges, and it is understood that a conference of Harvard, Yale and Princeton officials will soon decide upon a uniform regulation for all three colleges.
