...have written thus far of domestic issues. These, however, have at times been overshadowed by international questions--the Mexican problem, and the problem of our relations with Great Britain and Germany. As to the first, the issue seems clear. On one hand, there are a great number of people who, in the course of the European war, have been gradually working themselves up into a "heroic mood," and who seem to feel that at a time when most of the world is at war, it is somehow unmanly for us not to be doing some fighting. They feel that...
...German-American problem does not present so well-defined an issue. There are those who believe that President Wilson has been too lenient towards Great Britain and too severe in his treatment of Germany. And there are others who believe that the President has not been sympathetic enough towards the Allies, and not severe enough towards Germany. Strange to say, both parties are lined up behind Hughes, and apparently someone is being fooled.

...Cornell must have come to the Stadium confident in her ability to advance through Shiverick's punting, and then score on her off-tackle plays. Shiverick was out-kicked by Horween, and his ends were a dead loss. Probably the end problem, which has existed at Cornell all fall, prevented her from doing much with a wide wing attack. She tried not more than three wide runs all day. All failed. But the Red and White's great failing was poor defensive diagnosis and wretched tackling. Harvard's backfield is extraordinary, but just at present the line between ends...
Professor Ripley recently gave good advice when he urged men to attend the Sunday labor meetings in Faneuil Hall. College students are at the time of life when they need to become acquainted with every sort of problem in a broad, humanitarian way, without the prejudice of later years. Not only the problems of labor, but the financial, religious and diplomatic interest of the world need a first hand exploration which cannot be obtained inside the walls of a college...
