...inscription proposed for the restored Louvain Library is "Destroyed by German fury; restored by American gifts." There are nearly two million German-born persons of voting age in the U. S., more than any other national or racial group except Jews and Negroes. The German vote, well organized, is potent. It is greatly influenced by the dignified nine-year-old Steuben Society of America, one of whose objects is to alter current ideas about War Guilt. There was, therefore, more than one reason for last week's headlines: "Hoover is Undecided on Visiting Louvain...

By train, boat, automobile, airplane, even a few by "ride soliciting", Harvard is making its way southward, as the swallow flies. Last night New York was filled with the men who by day walk Mount Auburn Street. This morning the gentleman from Indiana and Westmorly, arm in arm with the class baby of 1911, will measure with his eye the cool quadrangles of Princeton, and to him they...
