...institution: The Feast of Our Lord, Jesus Christ, as King -to occur every year and in all the world on the last Sunday of October. Its purpose is to recapitulate the claim of Our Lord to reign over the minds, wills, hearts of men, claims too often neglected or forgotten, a sin which His Holiness states is responsible for "the deluge of evils" which has recently invaded the world. But the most discussed section of the encyclical (TIME, March 29) is that in which His Holiness calls upon Protestants to join with him in worship on this auspicious day. This...
...however, surprised, gratefully surprised. Since he graduated, he had rather lost touch with the University; he had forgotten the old virtues of his paper and was unacquainted with the new ones.

...welfare of the student body must be pleased at the offer of a prize for the best essay on the feeding of undergraduates; and must hope that it will help to remedy the most unsatisfactory condition in the social life of the University. The students seem to have forgotten that gregarious animals and civilized men feed together, and that meals have a social as well as a nutritive value. Under the recent habit of eating around they are not aware of the pleasant hours, the interesting talk and the lifelong friendships that come from the club tables of former times...
