...seem to regard the holding of that degree as one of the passports to a teaching position. Some college presidents virtually insist that they will appoint no one as instructor who has not been tagged with this title. Others will appoint undoctored instructors, but will not promote them. The thing has almost become a fetish. Yet even a fetish, when it actually exists, must be tolerated if we want to put Harvard men on the teaching staffs of colleges and professional schools. Our facilities enable us to train teachers of business subjects and our standards are high enough to warrant...
Among these contributions, "The Genesis of Beauty," by R. Cutler '16, easily takes first rank. The slight bit of narrative in this sketch is thrown against a background of splendid color, and the whole thing is done quickly and powerfully. The author might be suspected to have been recently diving into Russian novelists, but if this is the result of any such reading, it is to be highly commended. Perhaps equally successful is O. W.

The headlines of the dailies are often unreliable and sometimes intentionally misleading as to the nature of the news underneath. To compare the history of the war as, written in the headlines of certain...
Over eighty thousand people will march in the Preparedness Parade on Saturday in order to express publicly their sincere belief in a preparedness policy. Every possible thing has been done for the convenience of the members of the Harvard Regiment. Motor cars have been obtained to rush the men to the assembling point and back to the Stadium in time for the Intercollegiate Track Meet. The head marshal of the parade has given the Regiment a position of honor in the third division, the first of the private military organizations. The Harvard graduates whose financial generosity has made the Regiment...
