...Allied Nations must hang together. That is the watchword of the leading men of every country. Once dissatisfaction and ill-feeling appear to any extent, there will be trouble, and the recent war will have been fought in vain. Even now the dispute between Italy and Jugo-Slavia over the eastern seacoast of the Adriatic is reaching a climax. Many such disputes would lead to a disaster...

The traditional antipathy of undergraduates toward the Office will certainly be effaced--temporarily, if not permanently. Benevolent rulers are now enthroned in University Hall, who minister to the needs of their subjects. The greatest of all needs was the force to push that examination schedule back just one week...
