British law intervened last week to prevent the King-Emperor from reading an account of the affairs of his best known subject. Of the subject Mme. Sarah Bernhardt once said: "He is the greatest of all pantomimics." Yet Parliament recently passed a law (TIME, Dec. 20) forbidding the publication of sensational divorce details. Therefore though George V., R. I., may have read the London papers never so carefully last week, he read only half a dozen sentences about the cause célèbre precipitated last week by an 18-year-old girl who was studying...

It will be the first time smoking has ever been permitted in any college library...
...Harvard-Holy Cross clash in the 1560 yard relay will be the outstanding event of the evening. A year ago the Purple runners narrowly defeated the Crimson team in one of the greatest relay battles ever staged in Boston. It took the best Frank Burns could give to carry the Worcester men over the tape ahead of F. P. Kane '26, Harvard's great quarter miler. Burns will run again this year for Holy Cross. Brown, M. I. T., and Boston University have also been matched for a relay...
