...just come to light that Mrs. Coolidge, five weeks before the famous "choose" message, embroidered into a White House coverlet the dates 1923-1929 in token of her stay there, thus predicting by her infallible womanly intuition what the mere men of the country did not accept as true for many months after. If only every candidate for office were married, the need for conventions and elections to make a selection would be avoided; but cases like those of the present Secretary of Commerce, who has neither wife nor official bed, might be puzzling...
This will be the first trip of the corps to this vicinity, since 1821, when a small group of future officers came to Boston to accept a flag. A note relating to this visit is still to be found in old files in Boston...

Nor does there seem to be any good reason why graduates of the graduate schools--law, business, medicine--should be limited to one seat, the number which they are forced, very much against their will, to accept now. These men are asked to contribute to the various drives of the University, they are eligible and energetic workers at the many Harvard Clubs, and if they do root for the opposing team, do so only in the few cases where this team happens to be also their alma...
