...marvel. Twice as large as an ordinary living room, it was a study in green and brown. One whole wall was a bank of French windows facing on a sunny balcony. At opposite ends rose huge black marble fireplaces. Before one of them sat Mr. Farley, in a green leather armchair, at a walnut desk with a green glass top. He rose, blushing with pride, and declared: "We're certainly grateful to the Republicans for all of this." As the newshawks gaped, his pride overcame him. "Look at the bathroom!" he exclaimed.

Regrettably enough the Democratic administration has not as yet brought back the old-time football crowds which paid for everything from kangaroo-leather running shoes to the heavenly-scented rubbing-oil. Among the possibilities which have been mentioned are those of establishing an athletic endowment by some of our more solvent polo-playing graduates, and the taxing of Freshmen for their required exercise. These both carry heavy disadvantages and are not in accord...
