...might be arranged. Whether this part of the program worked out successfully or not is of small consequence. The important fact is that a four years study of military history and modern warfare as a background, with concentration in some particular field such as transportation, explosives, or finance, would turn out a group of military specialists. These men would prove invaluable to the country in time of war. The proof of this is England's condition today. One of her chief difficulties is a lack of technical experts to direct her fast increasing forces. With such a terrible example before...
...best possible. The Yale team got the jump at the start of the race and Fuller alone of the University team was among the leaders at the turn up the first fall. Overton and Young kept in the lead, but the other Yale runners were gradually passed by the first four of the University team. At the half-way mark the course led over West Rock, an elevation of over 400 feet. Going up this fall, the Crimson representatives as a rule fared as well as their opponents and all were forced to alternate between running and walking...
...poetry excells. Hillyer's "Retrospect" indubitably sings,--though in a well-worn tone; Dos Passos admirably conveys the spirit of the prairies; and Nelson's "Madam" strikes an original vital poetic note.

...University team started off with a sprint at the first of the race, Fuller being in the lead at the turn up the hill. Fuller and Bancroft were still ahead at the top of the hill, closely followed by the leading Cornell runners who were well bunched. The latter kept together and gradually opened up a lead as the race advanced. Captain Twitchell came up several places, while G. A. King '18, who had been well up, was forced to drop out when seized by cramps. In the last part of the race Windnagle and Hoffmire put on added speed...
...other is the mood possessed by what Cyril Harcourt has termed "Consumptive Puritans." Both plays are rare treats,--but only to those who do not carry the above-mentioned attitudes with them to the Wilbur Theatre. Some may claim that it doesn't take a sick Puritan to turn pale when Shaw's burlesque of early Christianity really gets under way. That would be true,--if one dared take Shaw seriously. But one doesn't, so we call it "delightfully amusing" instead. Which only goes to show that the attitude is the main thing after...
