...goodly number of boohs and chants of "we want Landon" from many of the 15,000 present greeted the vanguard of President Franklin D. Roosevelt '04 and his party on their journey through the Square yesterday afternoon. The presence of Governor Curley in the Presidential car may have had something to do with the unwelcome salutations rising above the roar of the motorcycles...
...thousands who sat in Mark Hopkins' classes only a scant 250 lived to journey to Williamstown for his Centenary.

At each stop there were lectures by guides in overalls and white gauntlets. Other amusements consisted of a World Series broadcast, bridge games, an accordion player. Next trip is scheduled...
...Julius Caesar, St. Augustine of Canterbury, William the Conqueror and almost everyone else through the ages who has traveled between England and the Continent, the English Channel has been an annoying journey. This week marks a partial end of that ancient inconvenience. It is now possible to board a train in London, go to sleep, and wake next morning in Paris, as one of three big train-ferries carries the whole train across the 50 rough miles of water from Dover to Dunkirk...
