President Ruthven soon found himself too busy with the students and professors at Ann Arbor and the legislators at Lansing to bother much with ruffled bird lovers in Manhattan. President Hamlin and Professor Barbour browsed among the charges and ruminated over the names against President Pearson until last week they had tart things to say of the Pearson baiters...
Somebody did not bother to learn just which train was taking Chancellor Brüning and Foreign Minister Curtius back from Rome last week. As the regular Basle-Berlin express passed over an embankment near Jiiterbog, 40 miles from Berlin, an electrically wired artillery shell exploded beneath it. Nine cars were hurled from the track, rolled down the embankment. Fifteen people were seriously wounded; miraculously, no one was killed.

Critics who doubted the ability of the championship Cornell crew were embarrassed by the race at Derby. Cornell, in the unlucky west lane, did not bother to use a racing start, moved into an effortless paddle less than a length behind Yale & Princeton. Yale was rowing about 36 to Cornell's 28 or 29-an almost insultingly slow beat for a two-mile race. Princeton kept up a fatiguing high beat for the first mile...
