What you’re looking at

# "A Modest Lecturer" and "Let the Rules Abide" The left column discusses Dr. Louis Kaufman Anspacher's lecture series on ethical theory, praising his attempt to address complex philosophical questions systematically. The right column, titled "Let the Rules Abide," argues against changing football rules. It defends the current ruleset against business and newspaper pressure for modifications, suggesting that excessive rule changes—driven by commercial interests rather than genuine safety concerns—threaten the sport's integrity. The accompanying cartoons appear to satirize fashion and social behavior through silhouettes. "Maytime Passes Lightly O'er Thy Head" depicts spring frivolity, while "The Stout One" comments on clothing and appearance, with the caption "IT'S WHAT YOU WEAR THAT COUNTS!"—likely mocking superficial social judgment based on fashion rather than character.
