...majority of students here for a direct and authoritative explanation of the League situation would make it more worth while, if the Student Council and the University authorities are so minded, to secure another speaker. Of course Mr. Taft is the most prominent available leader of constructive thought on this subject. But there is no dearth of other fair-minded and serious Americans who have studied the problem. Perhaps one or more of them would be glad to address a collegiate League of Nations mass-meeting...
...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.

Crompton '20 will pilot the University airship, and will be accompanied by several other members of the Aeronautical Society. The balloons will start from Akron, Ohio, and the crew which reaches...
...contains an article by John Jay Chapman entitled "Harvard's Plight," a renewed complaint against the composition of the Corporation. Although we were surprised to find such a weighty subject discussed in a publication which seldom enters upon academic questions, the matter is too important to be dismissed without thought or comment. Mr. Chapman declares that Harvard is run by State Street bankers and that they have caused a spirit of "commercialism" to pervade its former intellectual atmosphere...
