Great personal emergencies are the final tests of men's characters. Theodore Roosevelt, shot while making a speech in Milwaukee in the presidential campaign of 1912, insisted on finishing what he had to say. Premier Clemenceau, barely escaping from death's door has announced to Secretary Lansing that he will attend the Council of the Great Powers on Tuesday. Not even a bullet could stop the tremendous energy of the great American and the great Frenchman...
...close of the Phillips Brooks House financial campaign, D. C. Hawkins '20 who directed the drive, announced a total collection of $2,932.68. Pledges yet unhonored, from the undergraduates and the Graduate School, are expected to bring the final total above $3,000.00, which is considered successful by the Campaign Committee because no individual gifts of more than $100.00 were accepted this year...
