...France is a spunky, militant, land-lubbing Cock; but for one day last week Frenchmen raised the three-spiked Trident of sea power. For once the name of "Admiral of the Fleet"*Henri Salaun loomed on a momentary par with that of Marshal Ferdinand Foch. The occasion was twofold: first a review of the Grand Fleet, off Havre, and second the inauguration, at Havre, of the new docks and deep water basin-a prodigious puddle capable of accommodating simultaneously the two largest ships in the world, the Majestic and Leviathan...
...strange conditions extremely difficult, a scarcely less numerous body, better prepared for college work, find themselves seriously disappointed in their expectations of college by the large proportion of elementary work which occupies their Freshman year. The outstanding problems of the first year at Harvard are thus of a twofold nature: the difficulty of abrupt transition for the immature or ill prepared student, and the lack of inspiration and of insight into his future work offered the more advanced student. While neither of these problems can be entirely solved on the college side alone, certain measures with regard to Freshman work...
...Putnam's object in establishing a fund for intercollegiate contests of a purely academic nature was twofold: to foster general interest in scholarship, and to enable the student to demonstrate his loyalty to his college through scholastic attainments.

Congress would ever authorize); and b) That all cruisers should be of 7,500 tons (which would suffice...
...With the fruits of my journey I am completely satisfied. I went to Rome primarily for the twofold purpose of obtaining an outlet to the sea at Fiume for Hungary and to conclude a treaty of friendship with Italy. Before undertaking the trip I already had received assurance from the Government of Jugoslavia that no hindrance would be placed on Hungarian goods enroute across Jugoslavia to Fiume. Naturally the agreements arrived at upon this point and supplementing our new treaty of friendship with Italy are only the foundation and framework of a system of friendly cooperation the details of which...
