...almost five months a cabinet crisis has existed at The Hague, where such occurrences are taken with phlegmatic calm. The last Cabinet, headed by Premier Colyn, quietly resigned after the Second Chamber (House) had attached a rider to the budget refusing funds to maintain the legation representing the Netherlands at the Vatican (TIME, Nov. 23). Last week, after innumerable steady-going attempts to form a Cabinet had failed, meagre despatches reported that former Finance Minister de Geer has succeeded in getting together a Ministry in which Dr. H.

...individual student, a budget will bring welcome respite from the periodic appeals of harassed collectors. The economic advantages arising from a single payment instead of repeated donations may be slight, but the added convenience and simplification should be more than desirable. Even more important is the security and legitimacy which will be gained by the various charities which it has been customary for the University to support. The elimination of separate organizations for each drive and the centralization of the collection and expenditure of the funds in the hands of the Student Council suffice alone to warrant the step...
