Brigadier General A. C. Dalton is 60 years old. Square-jawed and weather-beaten by many years of gallant army service (D. S. M.), his frame illy accords with an alpaca suit. He received what shipping experience he possesses during 1917-18 in the Transport Service...

Here, too, "good fellowship" is stressed. The scene is pastoral, the cost low, designed to suit "the overwhelming minority." Host Pratt, a recent Harvard graduate, is a subeditor and financial backer of the New Student; devotes his energies to stimulating a spirit of liberal criticism, free speech, international consciousness, among U. S. undergraduates...
