...Italo-Papal treaty & concordat (TIME, Feb. 18), to indemnify the Holy See for its losses of 1870 by a cash payment of $92,000,000. Therefore the act of Pope Pius, last week, in despatching a half-million francs worth of "Peter's Pence" to Mexico, seemed to augur that a new underlying theory of "Peter's Pence" is being evolved by the prelates of the Papal State...
Coach Horween's first and second-string backfields proved equally effective, showing infinite possibilities. Speed, shiftiness, and drive, coupled with ability to flash an accurate aerial attack, augur well for the season. The interference carried out its assignments well for the most part, taking out Springfield's secondary defense on the end runs and clearing the holes made by the line on the plays through the opposing forward wall. Four forward passes were attempted, two of which succeeded. S. L. Batchelder '31 was on the passing end of both of these, with T. W. Gilligan '31 receiving. This combination looks...

Certain Latin delegates, however, have expressed themselves vehemently on the subject in published interviews. It can be hoped that the frankness with which they state their desires, and the willingness of the United States to admit the rights of free states even while she protects...
...imminent Reading Periods is that the Faculty has "confidence in the ability of the student and in his desire to use the opportunities well." This, with the general undergraduate attitude eagerness to test the experiment and at least an open mind toward its possible results--is an encouraging augur for what must be admitted is an unknown field. Whatever be the outcome of the Period it will have been based on a mutual understanding of both Faculty and students. Each realizes that there are dangers to be faced and each is demonstrating a desire to avoid those dangers...
