...American universities, Mr. Laski continues: "The result is a student and a university radically different from the English model. The American student, I should judge, has a wider range of facts at his disposal than the English undergraduate; but his thinking apparatus is less keenly trained.

Wylde '17 and Donahue of the Dartmouth Club, both of whom shone brilliantly in the first game...
...CRIMSON holds in general the views expressed by its contributors in these communications. It believes that to enter the lists further against the Lampoon would simply tend to place both sides on a similar footing. to place both sides on a similar footing. The "Hydrostatic paradox of controversy" expounded by Oliver Wendell Holmes seems peculiarly applicable to the present controversy. If you had a sent tube one arm of which was the size of a pipe-stem, and the other big enough to hold the ocean, water would stand at the same height in one as in the other. Controversy...
