Pacifism and Saint Gandhi brought dismissal to a U. S. college professor last week. As many a like incident has done before, this raised hue & cry in academic circles and in the Liberal press. Professor Herbert Adolphus Miller, head of the sociology department of Ohio State University, went last year to India. He spoke to the Gandhites on the eve of their famed salt march. Last month Ohio State students were agitating against compulsory military training. Professor Miller actively supported them and voted with the faculty (83-10-79) to ask the university's trustees to make military drill optional...
...another bleeding scalp hitchd to the trophy belt of an abstraction called House-Plan. In deserting the rather too abrupt staircase of a pillared and posted Widener, for the Georgian aplomb of Lowell House Quadrangle, the Glen Club will be more fittingly clad in the eloistored hue of Harvard's more usual garb. They will, too, bring melody where only the harsh clanging of dissonant bells has been before. More than that, their presence in the House Plan tonight suggests an idea.

Thus a student living in such a place as McKinlock Hall is apt to find, when this is considered as a House, that his room next year will cost...
...Hue & Cry. The scent of corruption growing stronger, the hounds of public conscience began to break loose with an increasing halloo. Church, Press and Business set up a tremendous hue & cry directed against the entire city adminis- tration, but particularly against its dapper little Mayor James John ("Jimmy") Walker. Public feeling, which had smiled tolerantly at his wisecracks and philandering, which had overlooked his do- nothing policy on the unified transit problem and Unemployment conference, now flared up at what appeared to be culpable laxity. The Society for the Prevention of Crime urged Governor Roosevelt to invoke a little-known...
...Mars into action. Germany edges towards the Polish corridor while La Belle France arms herself to the teeth and Hungary eyes her lost provinces in Roumania. If one adds to this score the obvious red flag flying in Moscow the promises of 1918 seem truly dyed in no uncertain hue...
