...expression of the University which now seeks other channels, and to publish also the many other theses, reports and books that deserve publication, calls for a press that would cost $100,000. Another $100,000 would be needed as an endowment to help out the running expenses. When we think, however, how much this press can do to unify the expression of Harvard, to stimulate it, and to diffuse knowledge through the whole country, we realize that it is a cheap price for such a great return. It is an opportunity...
Harvard has recovered. Such appears to be the universal opinion of football critics. And men who on November 5 said that Harvard could not defeat Yale, are beginning to think better of the remark. Two factors have led to a reconsideration: Yale was unable to run up as great a score on Princeton as was Harvard, and Harvard fairly defeated the team which plainly outclassed Princeton.

The savage thought that a fight with his fellow was the only solution of the problem, if there was but food enough for one. At present two civilized nations think that war is the only solution, if there are sufficient foreign trade markets for but one. The present propaganda for international peace among nations can be likened to the first and somewhat hesitating arrangements between savages for the settlement of their disputes by a third person. The savage's problem...
