...been made by the British Council of imperial Defense. Admiral von Scheer, who commanded the German fleet at Jutland, has expressed the view of the Fatherland that the surrender of its surface vessels contains little excuse for regret. Secretary Daniels has ordered for the near future a definite test of the battleship's vulnerability which may have an important effect in determining our naval policy. Public opinion everywhere seems adverse to pursuing the race for such armament...
...presenting John Galsworthy's "Strife" for the first time in America as originally written, the Henry Jewett Players have again taken an ambitions step, and a supreme test of their capabilities, with sweeping success.

Class-room competition between a man who devotes all his time to his studies and a man whose main interest is on Soldiers Field is obviously no test of the mental grasp of either. So long as work on the athletic field and on publications plays the highly important role in undergraduate life that it does today, those who receive the best marks will be those who are unfitted for or undesirous of executive, managerial, or athletic success. If therefore seems perfectly natural that...
