...enough that the First was our model division. Together with the Second, it did more hard fighting than any other; it produced more good commanding and staff officers, notably General Summerall; it kept going, whether under fire or on the march, under conditions in which most units would have quit; and even in the matter of tactics, in the combination of artillery and infantry on the offensive, it was right in front of anything in either the American or French army. Was it "average" then...
...Trumbull, who will speak, is one of the assistant coaches of this year's team, and is himself a former All-American tackle. In 1915 he was elected captain of the University team after C. E. Brickley '15 had been forced to quit the gridiron on account of appendicitis...

...Tammany is more than usually complicated, with four candidates in the field, struggling for definite, specific ends, in place of the customary two. Mayor Mitchel running for Fusion, stands for unqualified patriotism, and can boast of having given New York the best administration for over a generation. Hill quit, the Socialist, possesses great mental power, but stands firmly at the head of the anti-national movement, both in theory and ideals. Hylan, a typical Tammany politician, has been proved to be in league with the pro-German activities, and has been unable to win the support of any reputable class...
