AS to the future of President Taft
1t will be difficult to convince the peo-
pie, sincere as he may be, that he has
not favored the Cannon program ir
preference to the larger interests OF

students have a lower code of honor
than German students. They have

think their code Of honor would not
suffer when compared with that of the
Germans.
