This total of $874,111.48 represents the largest volume of business in the history of the society. Part of the increase is due, no doubt, to the higher range of prices everywhere current during the year which would show its effects in an enhanced volume of sales, measured in dollars, even if the actual turnover of merchandise, measured in units, had not increased. But even with adequate allowance for this factor the business of the Cooperative has grown considerably during the past fiscal year in practically all departments...
...neither of these wise-things did you do. With the rashness of youth you rush into print with an editorial which plays right into your accuser's hand. You yourself prove beyond the shadow of a doubt to an intellectual world no longer as narrow-minded and provincial as it used to be, that every word uttered against you was true, that you are indeed (if your statements reflect the sentiment of your college) a hot-bed of despicably British Toryism.

Some 360 men are expected to make this transfer, after a year or more in other institutions, and to sign up next Monday as inclassified students...
Acquiescence and enthusiasm to the contrary, however, the treaty plank is nothing of which to be proud. It mentions definitely the fact that the Republican Convention approves of the action of the Republican Senate--a fact scarcely open to doubt. It goes so far as to agree with the Senate in opposing the League of Nations without proper reservations. That, it will be seen, is a very different thing from favoring a League of Nations with reservations...
