...University tournament, Captain-elect H. N. Rawlins '27 and R. S. Wright '26, runner up in the State tourney have yet to clash in the semi-final match of the upper bracket which will virtually decide the championship. L. S. Haskins '26 has won his way to the other final birth but is conceded little chance of downing either Wright or Rawlins.

Before the war the majority of German students had the ambition to acquire a broad general education first of all. Today, however, most philosophical faculties show a smaller registration, while medicine, law, and political economy are overrun--the two last-named because they furnish a preparation for business life or for government positions with secure tenure, certain pay, and retirement pensions...
