...nearest competitor was the U. S. Army S-16, which had caught a more southerly wind current and been blown across Germany to Krakow, 373 miles from Antwerp. The Belgica was third, 279 miles, and another Belgian bag, the Prince Leopold (winner in 1925), fourth with 192 miles. Great concern was felt for Pilot John A. Boettner of the Akron N. A.

Profesor Johnston Ross denounces compulsory chapel. Professor William B. Otis denounces compulsory drills. Professor J. E. Kirpatrick would abolish the college Presidency.

The issues which portend confusion for the next presidential campaign have, in the Empire state, been drawn to a head.
