Meanwhile came Adolf Hitler's Reichstag speech and the sharp veering of German policy peacewards. Some 300,000 men massed in the execution field by the great Schlageter cross last week, the greatest single crowd Western Germany has ever seen, but the ceremony was mild as ginger beer. By advice of counsel Adolf Hitler and former Crown Prince Friedrich Wilhelm stayed away. Wilhelm of Doom sent a wreath, but the only Hohenzollern representative was fat Prince August Wilhelm ("Auwi") in his Nazi uniform. Chief oration came from bull-necked Wilhelm Hermann Goring who rattled no sabres, contented himself with...
Following an investigation into the state and municipal law in regard to the granting of licenses for the sale of beer, it appears that there is a likelihood of beer in the dining halls next fall. Due to a tangle in the laws, the University has not yet been able to obtain a license...

Another difficulty in the way of the serving of beer is the 21-year age limit, which is imposed by the state law. Presumably some scheme would have to be put into effect whereby all students over 21 who wished to purchase beer would be issued cards certifying their age. At Dartmouth beer is now being served, but no age limit exists in New Hampshire. Yale and Princeton, like Harvard, are investigating the matter, and have not as yet reached any decision. It is understood that the authorities in University Hall are anxious to have beer in the dining halls...
