...ancient Greece, the victorious athlete was adjudged a crown of olive, his praises were sung in an ode, and his triumphs were celebrated by a magnificent procession, and a riotous evening festival. In modern America, where olives do not abound except in jars, where the art of ode-making has degenerated since the time of Homer, where processions are a nuisance to traffic officers, and riotous festivals are rather stupid for lack of the means of making them genuinely riotous, it has been necessary to seek a new reward for unbeaten brawn...
...announced that during the first six months of 1925 U. S. imports of foreign securities amounted to $551,591,000. Europe with $237,600,000 proved the principal borrower, while $151,081,000 went to Latin America and $131,910,000 to Canada. Rumors of new foreign loan proposals abound in Wall Street. The only serious obstacle to the continued import of foreign securities so far seen is the objection of the Coolidge Administration to the flotation of loans by countries still debtors to the U. S.

...house the echoes of Harvard's past? In all the University there is no single building devoted to that past, so noble, so venerable, and so steadying in its influence upon the present and the future. Yet, as the oldest college in the new world, relies of that past abound in scattered places, if one only find the diligence to hunt them down. As time goes on, these mute witnesses of Harvard's history will grow more valuable. Why not make of Memorial Hall a museum devoted solely to Harvard's history." The idea merits consideration...
Rumors of a corner in grain abound, and high prices ma)' in some degree be due to an extended short interest. Yet the basic cause for soaring grain prices is the shortage of world wheat, due to crop failures abroad, and heavy consequent export buying. Foreigners have taken off the market of late about 10,000,000 bushels of Argentine and Australian wheat. Russia, formerly a grain exporter, is reported to have entered the market as a buyer of U. S., Canadian and Argentine Hour, and of about 10, 000,000 bushels of U. S. seed wheat. To date...
