Because football is dominant for one day, however is no evidence that it is the single constituent of the college soul. There are hundreds of other days when the pursuit of knowledge is engrossing the minds of all. The soul of a college is a complex thing embodying innumerable diverse elements. The class-room, the athletic field, lectures, concerts, fellowship, all contribute their quota. The soul can no more be judged from its manifestations of a single day than can a defendant in a law suit from the adverse testimony alone. Tomorrow Harvard's soul will be football...
...intervals to permit the coaches to correct faults. The same difficulty was present which was shown in Saturday's game with Virginia; the team moved through simple plays with creditable speed and precision, but any attempt on the part of the quarterback to run off a play approaching the complex inevitably resulted in confusion. Only one score was made, a touchdown by Nelson which resulted after a long succession of simple plunges through the weak centre of the seconds' line...
...seems complex, but we often got patients in the hospital in Paris within 12 to 14 hours after they have been hit, even when coming from Arras or the line farther north toward Ypres.

...strange that startling "popular" discoveries have not taken place there. Nevertheless, several important ones have been made, whose significance can only be estimated. Most notable among these is the discovery that what has heretofore been considered the unit of the universe, the "element," may in itself be a complex substance. This was brought out in the determination of the atomic weight of "radio-active" lead, when specimens of this element were found to have a perfectly definite atomic weight which differed from that of other specimens of ordinary lead. This was due to some property of the element itself which...
International finance and economic development have become so complex and interwoven that any injury to the trade or industry of one country is sure to do harm to every other. The belief that a "place in the sun" is constituted by holding colonies has long since been discarded by economists along with other such mercantilist notions. It is too evidently still held today as a part of the "governmental mind" so brilliantly analyzed by Lowes Dickinson. It is a remnant of that habit which leads men to think of nations, of certain colored portions...
