...time football conditions remains a question. The Cornell Sun has answered it in the affirmative, but the fact that there has been no notice able decline in the student attendance at games during the past several seasons seems to indicate that the modern undergraduate is satisfied with the status quo. It should be remembered that against the impersonality and what can almost be called pseudo-professional spirit of the modern contest must be balanced the improvement in quality of the football which is witnessed, as well as its superior meriover former days as spectacular entertainment.

More important than the merger itself was its possible effect upon the status quo existing in the eastern railroad field. There are four main systems: Pennsylvania, New York Central, Baltimore & Ohio and Nickel Plate (Van Sweringen). Four years ago these four railroads held conferences in which the eastern railroad field was tentatively divided among them, but the negotiations were abandoned chiefly because the Pennsylvania did not believe that it had received its proper share of the short lines. Since the failure of these negotiations, no decisive merger movement has taken place. Last fortnight, however, the New York Central secured...

Bishop Candler is, of course, a Dry. His brother, the late Asa Griggs Candler, made a fortune giving the South a substitute for mint juleps and white mule. The substitute was "Coca Cola" and a far greater power for temperance it was -if you should ask Bishop Candler-than ten thousand sermons or revivals. Bishop Candler is for churchmen sticking to church matters...
