...confident that the earnest desire of the majority of students here for a direct and authoritative explanation of the League situation would make it more worth while, if the Student Council and the University authorities are so minded, to secure another speaker. Of course Mr. Taft is the most prominent available leader of constructive thought on this subject. But there is no dearth of other fair-minded and serious Americans who have studied the problem.

With such splendid opportunities, every normal undergraduate, who is not suited, either by his physique...

There are always bound to be a few highlights among the amateurs in workshop plays, and there seems no reason why we should not in some way get in touch with them and give them an opportunity for a stage career. A place cannot of course be found for all, but as in any other profession, there is always the chance for those...
