Cornwallis-West's unfortunate speech in the Cleveland campaign reacted against the British ambassador to such an extent that Cleveland was elected to the slogan: "No North, no South, no East, no Cornwallis-West!" Propaganda, a very vague term, is quickly laid at the door of the foreign envoy, and public opinion like a Frankenstein turns without warning upon anyone who has tried to direct...

After a week of canvassing about ten percent, we believe, of the 100 percent enrollment has been procured. Of course it is true this Louvain Library is generally regarded as an estimable project and that most American colleges have already rather freely contributed to it. Yet, when...
