Finance Minister Joseph Caillaux appeared, one bright morning last week, before the Finance Commission of the Chamber of Deputies. To the gentlemen present he said that the "balanced" budget devised by his predecessor M. Clementel was in reality short on the credit side some three and a half billion francs. It appeared that M.

They recall a Freshman Jubilee, a Junior Promenade, and a football game or two, but they naturally feel the need of a more unusual and a more culminating event. Class Day with its playing fountains, its bright streamers, and its swinging lanterns, is just such an occasion. The Yard on that day becomes not a place of routine but of memories, and Soldiers Field turns from its stately athletic past to bloom with banners and class colors...
