...long should a man sleep? The argument started at the dawn of creation and it is still debated. The ancients looked with scorn on the man who lay long abed, while Homer said, "It does not become a man of counsel to sleep the whole night." The University of Salerno in Roman days declared; "To sleep seven hours is enough for either a young man or an old one." In more modern times we have the famous dictum of Napoleon: four hours sleep for a man, five for a woman and six for a fool. Thomas Edison believes we shall...
...look before you leap when that means "belogging and postponing the issue"? Nations that always acted precipitately would save themselves much intellectual effort.

Though Jarvis Field is so situated that tennis on its courts might demoralize the Sunday atmosphere in the residential section adjoining, Soldiers Field may be considered differently. It is remote from the religious...
Finally, the Harvard Union is not a side-show, as the writer so "generously" termed it. In fact, since its very creation it has been the "big tent" for undergraduate activity, and this is clearly evident from the numerous mass meetings and smokers held there. In short, the Union has been the center of undergraduate life in the past, and by the plan of compulsion it is hoped to perfect it as such for the future...
