...units. If Great Britain joins a European United States, will that bring into the system the Europeanized communities of Canada and Australia and South Africa and the other far-flung colonies dominated by Great Britain? On a basis of equal representation of population groups. Great Britain and her dependencies would contribute to the world federation something like one-fourth of the population, the greater part of which is not English. That is a great morsel for a union of countries in which, for example, Finland and Switzerland and Greece are to have in some respects an equal status with Great...
...strict population basis would not work. Allowing one representative for every million of the 480,000,000 people on the Continent of Europe, France would have forty-one and Albania one. A combination of a few large States could always outvote the rest of the union. A genuine United States of Europe, founded on the successful American model, would presumably establish two legislative houses. If each nation should have one vote in the upper house, Germany, France, Italy, Poland and Spain combined could always be outvoted by a group of States with an aggregate population of loss than...
...even at mid years all students with unsatisfactory records are not necessarily placed on probation, since each case is treated individually. If, however, the grades of a student in good standing who has extended a holiday should become unsatisfactory at any time during the year, the Administrative Board would regard the extension of a holiday as prima facie evidence of neglect of work, and probation would naturally follow. To take another example, holiday cuts would count against a student if his absences from classes at other times during the year should become excessive in number...
...regretted, however, that the committee plans to include only nonfiction on its list, and that its first selections would be almost wholly of interest to the scholar rather than the student. The former hardly needs a guide. But with so large a proportion of the finest modern authors using the drama and the novel as a medium, a little emphasis on the more human side of current literature would be of greater benefit to the vast majority of Harvard men than the scheme which the committee has evolved...
...this score, we have stood for class and not university representation in the halls and not because other arrangements would be divisive factors in the life of the College. As the president of the Yale Club of New York has said, the day will in all probability never dawn when an undergraduate will feel inspired to lead a long cheer for John Smith quadrangle. It is highly doubtful if the residential halls will ever reach that stage of development, where they will overshadow the university which gives birth to them...
