Residents of Winthrop House will convene in the Junior Common Room at 7.15 o'clock this evening to hear J. P. Baxter, professor of History, and Master of Adams House discuss the "American Diplomatic Policy in the Far East...
...easy to understand why students have not been eager to hear their fellows discuss socialism, protective tariff, and world politics with representatives of other colleges. Debaters have ceased to be the guardians of collegiate honor and their activities have a limited interest for undergraduates. Students who have the opportunity during the day of hearing recognized authorities discuss tariff probems or international relations can hardly be expected to spend their evenings listening to their amateur though conscientious friends glibly talk on the same subjects. The participants in debates undoubtedly gain something from the research done and the public speaking...
Anyone who pays 25? to see the plot of Arsene Lupin, derived from the play by Maurice Le Blanc and Francis de Croisset, or to hear the dialog written for it by Bayard Veiller and Lenore Coffee, would have a right to feel disappointed, if not duped.

Many people prefer to hear Lily Pons, the pretty French coloratura who is a novelty and only a little more than half Galli-Curci's age. Kreisler makes $4,500 on many a concert but he makes it on percentage. He will play for less. Any artist will cut his fee for the honor...

Appointed Honorary Chancellor for 1932 at Union College (Schenectady, N. Y.), he is to deliver the Chancellor's address at Union's 136th commencement...
