What has been said concerning the Japanese students can be said with equal truth about the Siamese and Chinese. The Far East has sent many men to Harvard since the war closed European universities. Since the great barrier raised by the Bolsheviki at the Ural Mountains has bound us still more closely to these people, no such chance as this should be ignored to place relations upon the most cordial basis. The friendships formed in college today will develop into international friendships of tomorrow...
...munitions and other war necessities which were intended for Russia have been accumulating. In all probability the Japs will do no more than push a comparatively short distance into Siberia, possibly to a point just north of Manchuria, and there set up a line of defences as a barrier against any eastward movement on the part of Germany. With the absolute lack of any stability in Russia and the consequent difficulty of moving troops, it would be physically impossible for forces to penetrate very...

Neither Yale nor the University is willing to have athletics take up a large part of its time; the military drill is far more important and can not be curtailed. We must decide just how many hours of practice the teams shall be allowed, and these practice hours must be regularly adhered to in order to have the universities meet on even terms. Such minor details can be arranged without difficulty, and it will be a happy day in Cambridge when a "big, blue team" once more jogs...
