...zwieback, hard-boiled eggs, bananas, lemons, orange juice, tea. A bottle of fine brandy was rejected as too heavy. Officials clapped them on the backs; fraus kissed them goodbye. They climbed into the planes. With them climbed Hubert R. Knickerbocker, U. S. newspaperman representing the Hearst newspapers; also Baron Gunther von Huehnefeld, publicity man for the North German Lloyd steamship line. Both passengers were ignorant of airplanes. They took no mascots. Said Captain Koehl: "Gasoline, plenty of it, is your best talisman...
...noon the Pope ate fresh eggs, the gift of Trappist monks," John Gunther, Rome correspondent, hastened to radio to the Chicago Daily News on Holy Saturday (day before Easter Sunday). His evidence was warning to Roman Catholics that Pope Pius XI was a man, no god. They must not, as the ignorant among them are prone to do in their mystic exaltations during Holy Week, imagine Achille Ambrogio Damiano Ratti other than a onetime boy in Milan, onetime Papal Nuncio to Poland, onetime cardinal, now the 260th successor to St. Peter as head of their Church.

Howard '91, chairman of the German Department, spoke of Professor von Jagemann as one man whose teaching has long had a wide and helpful influence on a very large number of students all over the country. He told of how Professor von Jagemann's resignation brings to a close a period of 36 years of teaching at the University, during which time he has given his energy largely to the instruction of the more advanced courses...
...resignation of Professor Hans Carl Gunther von Jagemann brings to an end with the current academic year an active teacher's career of 41 years, of which 36 will have been spent in the service of Harvard University. Throughout this period Dr. von Jagemann has devoted himself especially to Germanic Philology, and though at the beginning of his sojourn among us he did no little work in the German language and literature, he has of late given no courses which undergraduates are usually prepared to take. Upon graduate students, on the other hand, he has exerted strong influence, not merely...
