...Honor System at Princeton passed beyond its experimental stage years ago. It has become an established procedure, to which our undergraduates have given a loyal adherence--not reluctantly, nor sullenly, but in a spirit of pride and enthusiasm; for this is particularly their system--they conceived it and put it into practice. That the success of the enterprise started 25 years ago is due wholly to the fact that the idea originated within the undergraduate body, spontaneously, irresistibly. Their desire, their determination, rein-forced by succeeding generations of college men, has caused the idea to become an unquestioned success...
Historic Dane Hall has been lost to Harvard, possibly beyond hope of repair, but escape from the far more serious damage which might have been caused by the flames is to be set down as a blessing at a time when fires, wherever they have occurred in the country, have been quite generally working a maximum, rather than a minimum of destruction. The blessing, in this instance, may be traced to a, source not at all mystical. The steady courage and quiet tenacity of the naval cadets who removed the many boxes of cartridges stored in the building's basement...
...study abroad. In recent years the practicability characteristic of education in the United States has hindered all but the most scholarly from enjoying this privilege. Now, however, almost anyone who has sufficient knowledge of Latin and some other language is eligible.

Research scholars and those seeking the honors that can be won in a world-famed institution will welcome the change...
...sane world, "freedom of the sea" means what it did to Grotius: Beyond the shallows of the shore no nation claims control. To an obstinate old man, obsessed with that German war mania that has cost the world so much blood and so many tears, it means that in time of war no nation must have a sea power superior to Germany's or capable of coping with German aggression. Yet when Germans solemnly protest that they are fighting for the freedom of the seas, it is the Tirpitz kind of freedom that they have in mind. New York World...
...town--and inland, the destruction is only less complete. And still another three-quarters of a mile of wharves and warehouses is badly shattered. The waterfront laid waste is equal in extent to that of Boston from the South Station around to the North Station, and across Charlestown to beyond the Navy Yard; only in Halifax the property was less valuable, and the wharves and buildings more scattered; two-fifths of it was railway frontage, two-fifths Imperial docks and barracks, and only one-fifth private property. In size and sort, the residential area destroyed would almost correspond to East...
