...Robart, member of Cambridge School Committee, "I told you that I seen signs of Communism."... R. M. Russell '14, Mayor of Cambridge, "I made no such statement. But the figures are correct."... Peregrine White '33, president of Phillips Brooks House, "We will be glad to cooperate." ... A. N. Holcombe '06, "I can see no plausible reason why this should have any detrimental influence on the aggrandizement of Japan in the disputed area in the Liaotung Peninsula." ... W. S.

...common rules of training seem to imply chiefly abstinence from smoking, drinking, and dancing, with the ultimate purpose of improving a man's physical condition and his chances of winning. The correct attitude on such a question can never be formed by the coaches; it must originate from within the student body and from the athletes themselves. At present Harvard undergraduates are little disturbed by the action of any team-member in breaking training. Likewise the members of the tams are not particularly upset by the failure of a team-mate to meet the generally accepted provisions for keeping...
Upon his $800,000 Lottery stake Bonfils pyramided fat profits from the Post, from the coal business, mining schemes, oil, real estate, Denver's Empress Theatre (burlesque). He used to tell friends that he was worth $60,000,000. Most Denverites think the correct figure was nearer $10,000,000. Bulk of the fortune was tied up in a family corporation, Boma Investment Co.

...lack of precise facts, some guessers have placed life, with meteors, sunshine, starshine and cosmic rays, as an extramundane intrusion. Professor Charles Bernard Lipman, the booming, moon-faced plant-physiologist who is dean of the University of California's graduate division, now thinks such guessers have been correct. From several sources he acquired meteorites (meteors which landed intact on Earth). These he doused, scrubbed, seared and otherwise sterilized, then pulverized in sterile mortars. The dust he placed in germ-cultures. Nine cultures showed growth of rod or coccoid bacteria...
Caltech's Dr. Paul Sophus Epstein, mathematical physicist, patted the proud heads of both great scholars last week, much as his whimsical friend Dr. Albert Einstein, who still was in Pasadena, might have done. Nobel Laureates Millikan & Compton are both correct in their theories, testified Dr. Epstein. Of cosmic rays which reach earth's atmosphere. 30% are Compton electrons (or protons) and tend to congregate around the magnetic poles. The remaining 70% are Millikan photons, darting right through the air to land...
