...bridge the gap between the present day and the time when the wished for endowment drops down like the gentle rain from heaven, temporary expendients must inevitably be adopted. But there is no momentary measure that is really satisfactory in all respects. A compulsory ten dollar athletic fee for all undergraduates, for instance, has been given much thought, and has been supported as a satisfactory method of getting all undergraduates to contribute to the upkeep of the athletic equipment. Objection to the proposal rests on the ground that it is unfair to tax a disinterested minority for opportunities which they...
...district are not unlike any financial district in smaller U. S. centres. There are a Childs and a Savarin restaurant. Because hard liquor is banned in Ontario restaurants Toronto has developed a "Broker's Cocktail," a startling yet appropriate combination of beer and champagne. For in Toronto, the gap between beer and champagne may be extremely narrow and is frequently bridged on the pungent name of a northland mine. Last year the best bet among the pennies was O'Brien Gold which soared from 34? to $14. In the past few years MacLeod-Cockshutt climbed from...
Further, as a stop-gap solution, to be used until University Hall slices college admissions to House capacities, the House Masters might well allow college dormitory men to eat in the dining halls.

Whether or not it be true that, as Wheeler asserts, approval of the enlargement plan will destroy the President, his further contention that liberal principles will be frittered away by this stop-gap legislation is highly logical. That a liberal of such long-standing as Senator Wheeler stands by this opinion is helpful to more conservative opposition forces. Even this unlooked-for support is overshadowed by that of Justice Brandeis, however, and the marshalling of liberal opinion behind the well-reasoned stand of these men can make for a strong coalition against the President's paternalism...
Certainly American history as a study to prepare the youth for the great big world is superior to Vassar's course in marriage and allied problems, which is supposed to bridge the gap between "Shakespeare and having a baby." Or to Columbia's course in "wrestling, judo, and self-defence." Probably our skiing president hopes for too much when he hopes to "inoculate the student body with the educational virus," but it is a worthy aim." A sound historical backing helps a good deal in accepting free love or a liberal Supreme Court...
