...last year it was decided to create a new post on the Christian Association Cabinet -- that of Service Chairman. The original appointee did not return to college, and his successor, R. B. Smith '22, was appointed too late to do a great deal. However, he has managed to get in personal touch with nearly all the Association members in the two lower classes in an effort to interest them in social service work or Sunday School teaching. At the same time, he has called the attention of the men he has seen to the weekly meetings and the discussion groups...
...exaggerated culture of sixty years ago, the idea that no "gentleman" was "finished" or could call himself educated until he had absorbed "atmosphere" in Germany, England, or Japan has defeated itself. Possibly its successor as "the thing to do" will be supplementary education as a garage mechanic in Kansas. At any rate, what intensive education lacks and what ostensive has, is the ability to train a man's capacity for growth instead of his fitness for any one job. He may not a single specific item of his four year undergraduate course, but twenty years afterward he will have...

His successor will in all probability be Lord Derby, who, as a conservative, is in favor of force to quell rebellion and retain English power...
...only-draw-back to the Tiger prospects for another season of championship records, and it is a big draw-back, is the apparent lack of a capable successor to Leh. Morgan and Cresswell have not made a strong impression, and the position is now a toss-up between Pride, stroke of last year's Freshman, and Wright, stroke of the 1923 yearlings. These four men, together with Moser of the 1922 Freshman eight, are all being tried but the final decision is probably for some time...
...news that Brand Whitlock is to be displaced as minister to Belgium comes as a grim reminder that political tradition is still rampant. No matter how able a man his successor may be, the act smacks of an antiquated political bogie that dies hard. Mr. Whitlock has given eight years of the most efficient and most self-sacrificing service. Throughout the war he carried on not only delicate relations of the United States as a neutral and as a combatant, but served as well the interests of the other warring nations which were intrusted to him. His humanitarian work outside...
