...remember how we all worked together in the war for our soldiers and our sailors, how we met together, and thought no task too hard? Do you remember our emergency drive for the Halifax Relief, when we had the unique distinction of raising so much money that we sent a special fund to be used for those blinded by the explosion? We are just the same people, and we are going to work just as hard now and give just as much for those men who fought for us and are back among us, broke in body or in mind...

It will require at least a generation. When it is considered that China faces the dual task of simultaneous development of a representative form of government and the development of a public school system to form the foundation for such a government, and when we realize how closely these two are dependent one on the other, we see that to attempt to establish a republic before...

The team reached the highest point of efficiency shown all season Saturday night and Coach Claflin's task during the next few days will be to keep his men up to the same standard. Even although the Elis were defeated in the first game, the contest was unsatisfactory from the Crimson standpoint on account of the ragged team-work displayed throughout the major portion of the struggle. Coach Claffin aims to have...
