...series was handicapped by poor ice at both the beginning and end of the hockey season; moreover, the interdormitory squads had to wait more than two weeks after the Freshman team got on the ice, in order to allow men who were cut from the first squad to participate in the interdormitory games. In spite of these setbacks, a great deal of interest was shown in the series, and the Department of Physical Education is looking forward to a more successful season next winter, now that interdormitory competition is firmly established...

Why that New Year's message last year, which so confidently stated that by the time the world should be writing another January First on its calendars, Bolshevism would be supreme? And now comes this new decision to undermine the reserve power of Western Europe and of America, ostensibly in preparation for the day of the great upheaval.
