"The undergraduates are practically unanimous in the opinion that President Angell's views are absurd!"--"Harvard, Radcliffe, and Wellesley had plenty to say on the subject of college week ends, and most of it was neither complimentary or kind to President James Rowland Angell."

Such and many other quotations have filled the columns of the Metropolitan newspapers in the recent outbreak over the speech of President Angell before some 2500 students in Woolsey Hall, Thursday night. Perhaps more than any other one thing, it is an example of super-sensitive journalism with its ready eye for the unique detail or in this case the possible accusation.

The centrifugal force that for, the present occupied the attention of the speaker, is essentially no other than the force which Harvard authorities have attempted to divert through the organization of living units, and through the enlargement of athletic facilities. The liberalism of Harvard authorities in such matters has not been questioned although in view of Yale's present attack of indigestion, it is the more to be wondered at.

Yale's move, no different than that of Harvard, has been distorted through the agent of a curious sensational press into an object of ridicule for which the unfortunate chance remark of President Angell can not be held solely responsible. This journalistic white lie evokes the unintelligent indignation of prattling flappers where a more fortunate representation might have conveyed a point of view that in its larger aspects can hardly be said to be unintelligent.
