...choice of college for those lads. Such interest is created by the club's depicting the older musical side of college life. It is not to be denied that such a concert as the Harvard Glee Club is now giving might cause the ordinary schoolboy to flee in utter boredom. Moreover, even his sister might not be intrigued by such a serious program, unless her musical up-bringing had been of the best. However, in the case of Princeton the Triangle Club with its many tours has long been carrying the message of Princeton musically, just as our athletic teams...

But no individual culprits may be named; the atmosphere of crass negligence which overlies the whole affair obscures the cause of the injustice which has been wrought...
...adopt this attitude at the first example. Relations between countries in new surroundings may be strained for a time without damage to the future. Only an implacable conservative could believe that the newness will not wear off. Senator Borah will find few who see in Argentine's action the utter ruin of the League of Nations...
