...under these same conditions that the Government has found it necessary to increase rates and terminate the crushing force of overburdening restrictions. People may find increases in rates oppressive, but they must not fail to realize that increased railroad wages and the elimination of sub-normal charges mean an increased cost of operation...
...college man the way of preparation should be extremely lucid. Ours is the business of acquiring all the knowledge possible--of stuffing into the thinking tank every shred of accredited information available. As university students, as mind specialists, we are the light of the world. If we fail in the attainment of understanding, upon whom is the world going to rely for brain power?

The greatest of the Americans who composed the Lafayette Escadrille, he has been among the greatest aviators in all the armies. Even the French, with their wealth of illustrious names to choose from, have called him "the incomparable pilot." No tribute...
