Even student concern with the curriculum, the late development in the student movement, is largely a following of academic leadership. President Aydelotte denounces the classroom, Professor Meiklejohn shouts, "Away with all lectures." President Frank says that the college is sick and proposes an isolation ward where it can be taken apart and examined and experimented on; Secretary Flexner wants to abolish the college altogether at university centres. Profesor Johnston Ross denounces compulsory chapel. Professor William B. Otis denounces compulsory drills. Professor J. E. Kirpatrick would abolish the college Presidency. But it students propose any reforms in these fields, we call...
...into the prohibition war in New York state. For there the issues are more clear cut than elsewhere and demand the services of experienced war horses. The issues which portend confusion for the next presidential campaign have, in the Empire state, been drawn to a head.

Mr. Dillon offered to buy them out, just as he offered and did buy out the Dodge Bros, family business and the National Cash Register Co. (the Pattersons). To the White people he tendered...
...robust and whole in mind, body and spirit. He looked in at some meetings of the Progressive Association (forerunner of the Fabians); even compiled a Socialist hymnal omitting God's name; but lost active interest when an economic emphasis was put upon the movement. The young doctor-artist's concern was to become tactually, factually, acquainted with the physical side of the world whose spiritual side he had so deeply experienced...
