...recently completed study of relative physiques of past and present college generations, besides being of value to the tailors, reveals definite tendencies worthy of a place in a much larger philosophy than that of mere spinal elongation. The policies of the sexes are evidently divergent, with little fusion, union, or community of spirit. Young men of today stand with much more lofty northwestern exposures than did the mossy and hirsute stumps of their fathers, and the young women have decided to be as brief as fashion allows, yielding no increase in those measurements which, in days not long past, were...

Ky Elright, at California, stands forth as the coach who has had the greatest success in pressing...

Mr. Lardner has even gone so far as to write several crack-brained chansons which no one will be able to whistle but which everyone will want to hear again. The negligible story tells of a boy (Norman Foster) who leaves Schenectady to write lyrics in Manhattan. His June Moon is a success and, having narrowly escaped marriage with a shapely extortionist...
