The people have no national consciousness, although racial consciousness is strong. Americans are desirous of giving justice and liberty to the Phillippines, but they must not think that a tropical people, inclined to be indolent, and whose only conception of rule is oriental tyranny, can immediately appreciate modern democracy...

That the subscription system is a downright nuisance I think every man in College will agree. It is, moreover, a thoroughly ineffective system; for as a result of all the soliciting by the many candidates for managerships, the average amount raised for track, crew and all minor sports together, as shown by the Graduate Manager's reports for the last...
