...University Law School debating clubs, which have been discontinued since 1916, have been reorganized, and the competition for the Ames' Prize will again be held. The clubs are as follows: Beale, Brandeis, George Gray, Kent, Marshall, Park, Parsons, Pollock, Pound, Pow Wow, Scott, Smith, Thayer, Witenagemot, Wyman...
...writer constructs a very neat case against the war maniacs. There is a certain cold charm in the temperance and lucidity of his style--a charm which we encounter frequently in the best work of the so-called "Pacifist" school, and which is in happy contrast to the bow-wow of the opposite camp. Mr. Reniers concludes his article on the moving Picture in this issue. Though a little slow-moving, it is clearly patterned and has been written with pains.

Bryce, Marshall, Pound, and Cooley have dropped out. The fourth round of the qualifying tournament will be argued December 13 to 18, and the fifth round, January...
...case suggestive of a universal problem. The character study "Truth is Stranger" involves definite types and fairly accurate dialect in a story which, true or not, might well have been sacrificed to one more plausible. Nature perhaps, but not art, "looks after her freaks." One doubts, too, whether "Kernham! Wow!" will strike many as congruous with a Maine handy man. A really charming narrative, allegedly autobiographical, in the manner of Rhibany, is Ben Lion Trynin's "Rosalie." The truth here to child life, the healthy human interest--even with comedy overdone--are indeed preferable to the usual run of undergraduate...
