...Christmas day the President spent only a few minutes at his office. There were no guests at the White House except Mr. and Mrs. Frank W. Stearns of Boston. Accounts differ and probably no one, except the participants, knows exactly whether the Coolidges visited their indoor Christmas tree and exchanged presents before or after breakfast.

...Keir will carry on the work started by Mr. Leys in the Fall. He will have charge of a group of students for tutoring in history and will conduct History 43, "Topics in Modern English History." Until after the mid-year examination period, he will hold consultation hours daily except Sunday from 10 to 12 o'clock in the morning, from 5 to 7 o'clock in the afternoon, and after 8 o'clock in the evening, or by appointment in his rooms...
