...most unfortunate that conditions at the University are such that students coming from foreign lands remain almost completely aloof from their fellows of American blood. Mr. Hood pointed out in his communication of last Monday the great barriers intervening between us and our guests from abroad which not only prevent them from obtaining little more than a superficial knowledge of American customs and culture but also shut us out from the profit we might enjoy from associating more closely with them. He suggested certain remedies for the situation,--to wit, the mingling of foreign students with American in dormitories...

All men who entered...
...opponents of the league would but exercise a reasonable degree of discrimination they would instantly perceive that the conditions obtaining at the present time are far different from those of a century ago. At the time when Washington and Jefferson warned us against "entangling alliances" and Monroe promulgated his famous doctrine, the United States could well afford to stand for a complete isolation of the Western hemisphere from the disturbing influences of European diplomacy. We had no outlying possessions to command our attention in foreign parts; the two oceans surrounding us were deemed a sufficient barrier to prevent any serious...
