...Berwick, descendant (as his name suggests) of an illegitimate son of King James II, eleven times a Grandee of Spain, and through the Larreategui family a descendant of Christopher Columbus: "As an intimate of His Most Catholic Majesty King Alfonso XIII of Spain, I have repeatedly caused newsgatherers to draw from my remarks the inference that His Majesty will soon visit the U. S. Always these reports have been denied; but last week I became so expansive that correspondents left my presence with the impression that His Majesty intends to visit the U.

The general run of university teachers usually know nothing...
...increasing the budgets of present intercollegiate teams. That income will be used instead to finance intramural development. Such an accomplishment is indicative of the high standards and ability of the Director in the face of a good deal of under cover opposition. It is, however, hardly fair to draw from such an accomplishment the conclusion that "We do not regard football at Harvard as a commercial proposition." No matter to what good ends the income from stadium gate receipts is devoted the fundamental fact remains true that football at Harvard, as elsewhere under the present system, is a business...
