...would be only from a proper sense of humor, and not from any fear of overstepping the bounds of legality. The establishment of diplomatic relations is the clearest method of recognition, and recognition under such circumstances as these would unquestionably constitute a cause of war, if the parent state chose to regard it in that light...
...utter breakdown of the demand for the war criminals made Germany think that she could act with utter impunity in whatever she chose; and this point of view was only natural. Such a demand ought never to have been made, or else, once made, it should have been backed up by united action. The faults of the Treaty of Versailles are, indeed, well exposed by the recent series of events. Most clearly of all is exposed our own fallacy in thinking that the Treaty could ever be self-executing. Without the League, the Treaty possesses no constructive or motive principle...
...great a success as possible it is imperative that every Freshman attend the weekly song meeting held on Tuesdays at 7 o'clock in his respective hall.

Dancing will take place in the evening, and the silver loving cup will be presented by president Lowell...

In fact, no chorus ever heard in Boston, except, perhaps, the Vatican Choir last fall, has set a higher standard in its choice of numbers and its performance. The selections ranged from austere classics like Palestrina, Vittoria, Lotti, and Bach to modern romanticists like Brahms, Borodine, and Granville Bantock. The technical and interpretative resources of the chorus could hardly have been subjected to a more searching test, but the singers conquered the difficult counterpoint of "Adoramus...
