...Yale's solution puts emphasis too much on wholesale distribution of information: followed to its logical conclusion, such a system of lectures would supplant the old system which, with all its faults, has that very desirable personal element, student contact with the faculty. This would be a loss. The real trouble with the faculty advisor system is that the advisors are so over-worked that they have but little time to inform themselves or their advisees concerning courses or fields of concentration. With some ten or fifteen men in line to be advised the man "in the presence" does...
Nevertheless, China must sooner, or later respond to the positive influence of a commercial world which offers itself. The question is, will she gain or suffer thereby?

Harvard athletics will benefit if the attendance at these frequent luncheons will grow, both...
...time-worn spectacle of a cat chasing its tail. The Lieutenant is the only loser; for in all probability his official carfare will be taken from him to furnish the money with which to pay the "reward". But you cannot act in a custard-pie comedy without coming into contact with some of the pie. At any rate, it does seem small for the rest of us to distrust a nation that is making so honest an effort to be ingenuously amusing...
