...German Delegation went aboard the Hamburg-American liner Hamburg. Drs. Brüning & Curtius at once went up on the bridge.

From two to four Bachelor Brüning slept in his berth. Husband Curtius said he would sleep in a deck chair, cheated, was caught reading Shakespeare's Macbeth...
...Nugent '30 at third pase; C. L. Todd '26 at left field, and George Owen, Jr. '23, at the initial sack. J. P.
