Round 4. Enter one branch of the U. S. Government, in the form of a man who is seldom news: Howard Sutherland, acting Alien Property Custodian. Said he: "I did as my judgment and conscience dictated." His deed was to support Mr. Rockefeller Jr. with proxies for 12,000 shares of Standard Oil of Indiana stock, which had been seized from Germans and Austrians during the World War and for which Mr. Sutherland is sole trustee...
...spirit of emulation, as President Lowell points out in his last annual report, should help to accomplish this--the desire of each "house" to achieve intellectual and athletic distinction in rivalry with its fellows.

The name of an equally famous athlete who is rumored to have chosen wrongly has not been as widely circulated; nevertheless...

Periodically there arises the question of whither is the undergraduate newspaper going; the medium of judgment chosen by observers is the editorial pages of college papers. The latest criticism, from the Dartmouth Alumni Magazine, is an epitome of all that has been said on the subject lately. It asserts that college editors fail to harmonize the tone of their editorial columns with the responsibility that is theirs by virtue of their place as representatives of the college in print. Cynicism, flippancy...
