...Harvard's triumph over Oregon in the football game of yesterday, great credit is due the players who journeyed across the continent to uphold the title of the East to football supremacy. The contest was indeed one between the East and the West. And the victory of Harvard brings satisfaction, not alone to the students and the graduates of that institution, but to all those who have studied in the colleges and universities of the East. The satisfaction at the victory won is made even greater by the knowledge, shown by the score, that the Oregon team...

There is no telling to what extremes such boycotts could be carried. But instead of concentrating...
...duty to lend our support and our influence to purely American ideals. I do not mean that I think America's fighting men to be reactionary in their policies. They are not. But I do believe they are the sort that will oppose certain agitators who uphold doctrines which in other countries resulted in revolution,--doctrines which oppose the system of government under which we fought, and under which our fore-fathers fought. More than once since I returned from France have I seen or heard things that were insults. They were insults not only to the cause for which...
