Coach Dempsey has been giving his men thorough workouts in preparation for this inaugural contest. The material he has had to work with has been excellent, and if the form in practice is to be taken as a criterion, the team should equal the record of the undefeated 1927 Freshmen stickmen...
...mediocre future of Reed College need hardly be described. The liberalism of views expressed by a faculty which had been freed by their president's resistance from the pressure of an uncomprehending board of regents, is no longer to be dangerous. The originator of so thorough, if unofficial, a persecution of economic dissenters will not be too sympathetic to any ideas which might be accused of unorthodoxy. His constant care will be to purge Reed College of its liberal fevers. From hence-forth, Reed College must play, in the educational sphere, a respectable if uninspired and totally mediocre role...
...test of this sort is undeniably interesting and always entertaining, but about all it proves in the testee is the extent of his education.

...animals in his laboratories to a rather limited extent. His work has been conducted in a scientific manner, but it is impossible to state from the evidence thus far available whether or not it will have any real virtue in the treatment of tuberculosis. Fortunately, Prof. Molgaard is a thorough scientist, and not inclined to commercialize or to propagate unduly an incomplete investigation. His method has been turned over for further study to other laboartories than his own, including that of the Medical Research Council of Great Britain. Until such independent investigations have been completed, the chemical will...
