...questioned whether the list has been altered at all. The opinions of the ranking Admirals--Sims. Mayo and Coffman--have been entirely disregarded, and their recommendations arbitrarily changed. There must surely be something amiss when Admiral Sims our greatest war-Admiral, and one of the nation's clearest thinkers, refused a medal on the grounds that a majority of the awards have been made through favoritism...
...would be a gratuitous insult to Great Britain. If that country did not choose to regard it as a "causes belie," it would be only from a proper sense of humor, and not from any fear of overstepping the bounds of legality. The establishment of diplomatic relations is the clearest method of recognition, and recognition under such circumstances as these would unquestionably constitute a cause of war, if the parent state chose to regard it in that light...
...Training houses and training tables must go. They are the clearest evidence of a professional spirit. In proportion as they are emphasized the college athlete becomes less of the student.

Both schools lost the greater proportion of their students, but the number of women has increased. Of 66,000 young men at the high schools, 12,000 were students during the past year, while 54,000, or 81 per cent. were in the army...
