There have been numerous despairing surveys recently calling attention to the careless, inefficient, and indifferent treatment which the aeroplane has received in this country and contrasting it, amid gloomy forebodings, with the giant strides taken in this field by Europe. Admittedly the pessimists have facts to uphold the contrast. France is blessed with eight companies which handled about fifteen thousand passengers and thirty tons of express and mail in the year just passed, and by means of government subsidies even managed to make both ends meet.

...primary purpose for which these annual gatherings of college men are held is to face fearlessly and sanely the moral and spiritual problems that confront the college men of today." They are not intended as a pleasant ten days to help students recover from the year's work amid congenial surroundings. The purpose as outlined and as it is fulfilled each year is both praiseworthy and practical. There have been many men who have profited more than they knew how to tell by attending these meetings. They have returned to college better able to meet their own problems...
