...sense in the circumstances. But the situation is embarrassing and illustrates again the need for a constitutional amendment which shall shorten the period between election and inauguration. In 1860 that weakness nearly destroyed the union, for it permitted traitors in the government to use the government's resources to build up the strength of the secessionists. In 1916, if Mr. Hughes had won, we should have had a very serious situation, with our policy as to Germany suspended for four months.

Nearly all the eastern colleges, large and small, have basketball teams...
...shall make no prediction about turning out a great team, because as yet I have not seen the University material," said Wachter, "and it takes years to build up a consistently winning combination. It is seldom that a man in college, unless a great star, can make the team before his Senior year...
