Professor Hart does not think that China is a real factor in the present Manchurian situation but believes it is a fair guess that an understanding exists between Russia and Japan to the effect that Russia will not interfere with Japan's activities in Manchuria.

Precisely what the "convention" consists of the writer neglects to state but it may be taken to mean the tradition that extra-curricular activities are just as important as studies to the college man. Certainly that tradition has been a dominant factor in college life in the past, though there is good reason to think that it is less potent today.

...postponement of what is explicitly non-postponable.

Production cost of the preparations is trifling. But like everything in the U. S. which has to do with sex, the retail cost is high. Clinics charge $1.25 for the dam, 75? for the jell. Drugstores...
...petition of the various professors, can prevail on Mussolini to withdraw the oath. Fortunately, unlike the dictators of past ages, he cannot be wholly indifferent of foreign opinion. Expediency may persuade him if other arguments fail. The Spanish Revolution indicates that the hostility of universities is no negligible factor in the fortunes of absolutism. But in any case, the petition of the Harvard professors, together with the protests of various European scholars, are admirable instances of the internationalism of genuine scholarship. Whether successful or not, such a gesture of sympathy and cooperation is distinctly worthwhile...
