...team of proven ability. This reversal of opinion may be attributed in no small degree to efforts of undergraduates, who, feeling keenly that an essential spirit of unity in the team was being seriously endangered, brought the authorities to a realization of the track team's plight by a clear presentation of the subject. It is gratifying to note that the table is to be resumed at once, and we feel confident that its benefits will promptly and amply justify its creation...
...summer camp for field artillery units this year, and emphasized the fact that the requirements for attendance at the other camps have been cut down. "Judging by the number of men who seem to think that attendance at all three summer camps is compulsory," said Colonel Goetz, "no very clear idea can prevail as to the actual requirements. I wish to make it clear that a man attends one summer camp if no provision for his pay is made; two camps if provision for pay is made; and the third camp is entirely optional with the student...

The question has at last been settled in a way to repair...
...this is the theory on which they proceed, the current number of the Advocate is a success. The material ranges in subject from ghosts to British Guiana, and from prohibition to joy rides. Nearly everywhere there is clear thought and clear expression--occasionally there is distinction, and only rarely, real mediocrity. A reading of the whole number conveys very much the impression given by an afternoon spent in "good talk"--if such an afternoon were possible--with a group of active and well-informed undergraduates of no type and confined to no one set of ideas. Perhaps here...
