...seem to indicate that all sports are fast returning to a pre-war basis. Yale, Princeton, and most other colleges are working on the question of modified eligibility rules for men who have dropped a class by entering national service. It is also proposed to eliminate many of the non-essential features, such as the training table...
Deplorable indifference seems to be the attitude most common toward class elections this year. The uncertain number of Seniors back in the University makes an exact comparison of voting and non-voting percentages impossible, but in the balloting of last week the non-participating members of the Class were far too numerous. Following in the footsteps of the Senior election, the Junior and Sophomore classes, especially the former, have paid small attention to the nomination of candidates by petition. From these criteria, the three elections today are apt to be very unsatisfactory to both the nominees and to the classes...

The non-voter in the outside world is being recognized more each day as an undesirable citizen and a liability to the community in which he lives. The status of the non-voter in the college is essentially the same. His lack of loyalty is a direct injury to the welfare of his class and also to himself.

There were also many cases where...

She would be assuredly unworthy of her origins if she sacrificed that duty to selfish and possibly non-existent claims of her private interest...
