...part of its prerogatives in tariff making, but a body of advisers who have the general confidence of the country cannot fail to exert a powerful influence. Of the capacity of Professor Taussig there can be no question. No living American economist surpasses him in achievement or reputation. Doubtless those who like the old way of tariff-making--a compromise among selfish interests--would call him a "theorist." So he is; so any student of so intricate a subject must be. And his knowledge of theory qualifies him all the more to treat the subject broadly, with due regard...
...Doubtless Mr. Russell's attitude toward the war and toward nationalism motivated some of the remarks--remarks such as this: "The chair demands a philosophical scholar who is an ethical thinker of distinction, and Mr. Russell with his provocative individualism, is hardly that." Why, indeed, must all distinguished ethical thought be anti-individualistic?

The Harvard eleven, except for one or two men, has had a good rest since playing Princeton and can do considerable work in final preparation for Yale during the three days it will be at Cambridge this week. The defence for the Yale game has been worked out and after going to Princeton all the coaches have been able...
...Sunday will doubtless and find a great many things to condemn in the University. That is his way. It is reasonable, also, that there are thing to condemn. But it is a question whether Mr. Sunday, in his criticism, will pick on these things or rather on the things that may be commended. It is to be hoped that the University's opinion of Mr. Sunday, while not necessarily reciprocal, may be fully as high as Mr. Sunday's opinion of the University. And it is quite possible, should Mr. Sunday have occasion to visit Harvard, that even the most...
