...necessary machines for the meet has been received with great disappointment, not only by the participating students, all ex-service men fully capable of handling the planes, but also by many officers of the Army who have been cooperating enthusiastically with the college flyers. The Washington officials, however, cite ample reasons for their action, asserting in the first place that Congress, as indicated in the debates appears unwilling that further loans of flying equipment should be made to civilians. In many cases, it is pointed out, accidents occur, causing loss of property, if not of life, and the Army...
...rules, which govern intercollegiate games, differ from those used in professional leagues in that the one-hand dribble is mandatory in one and not in the other.

Auguste Rodin's beautiful maxim, "Lenteur est beaute," manifestly is not a favorite with our present-day American universities. Just now the watchword with them is "Speed up the courses." To cite an example, in his annual report to the trustees of Boston University, Dr. Murlin, the president of that institution, advocates a general acceleration of the courses--and not only that; but an all-the-year-round session. Under Dr. Murlin's plan, which is devised for the benefit of busy young people who have something else in the world to do besides study, the instruction at a university...
