...Chinese Eastern Railway (TIME, July 22, et seq.). Under the treaty of 1924 we have the right to keep Russian officials on that line. You kicked them off last July. We have demanded ever since that they be reinstated. Our rights date back to Tsarist times, when Russian money built the Chinese Eastern Railway across Manchuria. We are ready to strike again. We have proved that you cannot resist us, even...
...lute had its heyday from the 14th to the 17th Century. It has a pear-shaped body built of pine or cedar staves pieced together like the crescent divisions of a melon. Its neck (lengths varied) has a fretted keyboard over which are stretched perhaps four, perhaps as many as 24 gut strings.

Harkness, quite unaware of our vision for the future, formed the opinion that a subdivision of a large American college would tend to solve many of its problems. He magnanimously offered to defray the cost involved, and found at Harvard an enthusiastic welcome to his ideas...

Now they can also serve the purpose for which they were first conceived, and there is all the more reason why separate halls for the freshmen should be retained. This is contrary to the views of some good friends, who do not appreciate the obstacles to be surmounted in carrying...
