There was always the chance that Sinn Fein and Fianna Fail deputies would try to enter without taking the oath-a move often threatened never attempted, and sure to lead to many a cracked Irish crown. Sober-minded Irishmen hoped that Mr. Cosgrave would consent to carry on, as before, with the readily obtainable support of the "neutral" parties...
...known power of the first Harvard crew to represent the regime of Head Coach E.J. Brown '96 will undoubtedly lead Coach Leader and Stroke Laughlin of Yale to plan a race very different from the 1925 campaign.

...educators who have been concerned with the probler of increasing the income already established through gifts and endowments. These contributions in their present or even an increasing ratio have been taken for granted. Now comes the prophetic warning from the head of a family whose contributions to general education lead all the rest that there is an end to all good things. He foresees a day, much too imminent, when gifts of the present scale will be exceptional and the universities and privately endowed colleges will have to stand on their own feet...
