...such an idea was suggested with the avowed purpose of opposing this country from an economic standpoint." Although there would in all probability be no hostility to the United States in the formation of such a league, were it practicable, such hostility would be very likely to develop, owing to the natural trade competition that would spring...

...built as soon as funds were provided for the purpose. At that time it seemed probable that a group of alumni, headed by one already a generous benefactor of the College, would contribute toward the building of an arena to house an enclosed rink. The plan did not develop in time to build a rink for use during last season. Active agitation for a rink has been carried on in the meantime however, by a group of Dartmouth alumni interested in hockey. The donor of this latest gift to Dartmouth enables the College to fill what graduating classes have often...

...picture of Elizabeth is more complete, and she is naturally able to write as one woman of another. Perhaps it is this sex sympathy which has enabled her to untie many heretofore tightly tangled Elizabethan knots. Embracing the political implications of the virgin's reign - the development of England's insularity, the alienation of the continent-she fails however to suggest as strongly as did Strachey the lusty temper of the times, the era gorgeous with talent, studded with awesome genius.
