These youthful delegates have something of an advantage over the League itself. At Genoa the babel of languages must be transferred to one tongue; at Amherst, though many representatives will be bona fide Europeans or Asiatics, no reading knowledge of foreign languages is required--provided the pleasant possibilities of education have been realized. And therein lies an analogy, or at worst a similarity. If education makes it possible for these foreign students to speak comprehensible English, it has one point in favor of its finally producing the mutual understanding among peoples, so long desired, so slow to come. Not that...
Second of the bona fide sciences to yield under pressure of the spreading tutorial system is the Geology Department. The creation two years ago of the Department of Bio-chemical Sciences, removing as it did the grievous errors in pre-medical education, was yet only a slight breach in what seemed an impregnable wall. Then came, in April of last year, the announcement that the Department of Biology would begin the following academic year under the tutorial system. The decision announced today gives an appearance of progression to these events, a progression that can be concluded only with the adoption...
Lowden chose, in preference to directing the affairs of the Navy, to retire to his farm. It was a bona fide farm.

Sympathetic post people registered the widows' names and proofs of age and widowhood in mossy ledgers. Then to each bona fide applicant they passed out "ten bob" (10 shillings...
...further. The case is clear against the Nicaraguans and relations should immediately be broken off. But if any further indictment of Sandino's tactics is necessary, it need only be stated that he actually had the temerity to "carry his dead off the field". Among decent, bona fide rebels, it has always been the custom to leave the dead on the field, to be counted by the victorious Marines. Not doing so can only be construed as an act of the grossest ill-breeding. It also, like non-scouting, makes for suspicion--suspicion that perhaps there were no dead, though...
