...Rabindranath Tagore, the noted Indian poet, musician, educator and winner of the Nobel Prize in literature in 1913, will speak at Tremont Temple, Boston, tonight. The subject of his lecture will be "The Cult of Nationalism." Tagore has been acclaimed by many as the greatest living poet. His writings reflect the romantic spirit of the East, and most of his poems are written to a weird moaning Rengali music, which he himself composes. He has translated many of his own works, among them his short stories in the writing of which many critics claint his greatest genius lies. Tickets ranging...

Most intellectual lights, like Sir Gilbert Murray and Gabriele d'Annunzio, have found their refuge in acquiescent, even enthusiastic patriotism. Some like Romain Rolland preach tolerance in a foreign country. Bertrand Russell and Maximilian Harden who insist on academic freedom reap only dishonor among their own people...
...will be seen the scores do not in any way reflect Princeton's greater ability to gain ground through carrying the ball, nevertheless facts to be adduced from these comparative figures are significant. Chiefly they bring John Rush, the coach, into relief. In one season this man, who came from a secondary school in the Middle West, who had not seen big Eastern teams in action in many years, gave to the Tigers something they had lacked since 1899, a dependable ground-gaining system. It would be blinking the situation to assume that Princeton, win or lose, will have...
