Another large section of the Report deals with American social life in the period immediately preceding the final catastrophe, and it should furnish fascinating reading not only for the social scientist but also for students of folklore and primitive religion.

T. was badly beaten by Princeton last week but its showing against the Tigers revealed some individual athletes who should furnish stiff competition. The most formidable of these probably is Leness, the Engineer 880-yard man, who took first place against a big field at Princeton. In the recent Pennsylvania relays, be was timed for his leg of the medley relay race in 1.54 4-5 seconds, an exceptionally fast time...
