...task would be difficult but it is within the range of possibility. Many may say that the non-athletic men don't know about such things and had better use their power of speech on a subject with which they are more conversant. This is, we are convinced, a wrong view. A little more interference by the college might do something to get athletic matters out of the ruts which have held them so long. It might be well to note that no rowing men have been near the boathouse this fall...

...financial arrangements, and the mass of contributors have no opportunity whatever of passing judgment on the measures taken. At the end of the year accounts are audited by a committee and found to be all right.

...commission, the bill became a law. Professor Hrdley then stated and discussed the most important clauses of the bill. There are: I - The provision against personal discrimination, which he characterized as very just. The fact is that where discrimination is made between two shippers it is usually the wrong one that gets the advantage. II. - The long and short haul clause, whose justice in theory he was willing to allow. There is, however, this much to be said against it, that the business of the country has distributed itself in accordance with the old discriminating rates. Men would plant factories...
