...regular athletic team, but they have not heard Professor Copeland read. This evening in Smith Halls Common Room they will have that privilege, for it is a great privilege to hear or see the best. We all like to be read aloud to, and if many of us object to this sort of thing frequently it is because the reading is not done well. Professor Copeland does not only read well; he reads better than anyone else. But more than this, his remarks and his talk--please do not think he will deliver a formal lecture--are the most enjoyable...

...various stages of completion. Whatever delay there may be in turning out cargo ships is not due to lack of workers or supplies, but to the lack of those enormous plants which are necessary for the construction of even a relatively small vessel. Lloyd George has again urged us to increase our shipbuilding to the maximum efficiency, not only to make good the losses due to the submarines, but also to manage the transportation of a greater army than we had planned.

...hoped that our Freshman eleven would once again prove the futillty of football "dopesters," but this year these prophets came into their own. They had been telling us for about two weeks that the Yale freshmen were our superiors. We had been laughing up our sleeves at them during these same two weeks.

We do regret, however, that their success was realized through the efforts of a certain educational...

...they are trying to plaster us with names like Sammy and Teddy. If you see any of the people who are trying to label us, please let them know that the infantry soldier of the Regular Army has always called himself the "Doughboy," and as long as there is a Regular Army he will continue to call himself that.
