...beginnings of the Republican Party remain somewhat of a mystery. Historians generally agree on the year as 1854. But the place is in dispute. Historian Charles A. Beard thinks that a mass meeting held in Ripon, Wis., was the true party matrix. Historian William Starr Myers of Princeton is inclined to agree and adds the name of one Alban E. Bovay as instigator of the meeting. But, Jackson, Mich., and Kansas City, Mo., also advance claims for the historic honor. Last week President Coolidge favorably entertained a suggestion from Kansas Citizens that the Republican Party's 75th Anniversary be celebrated...
Irregularities in the earth, such as masses of rock of lower or higher density than the surrounding material, or of higher or lower electrical conductivity influence the natural physical fields of the earth or artificial physical fields that can be found on the ground in question. The normal fields can be calculated accurately, and by measuring the departures from the normal, evidence is secured that is of possible service in estimating the properties of the mass concealed in the earth that is responsible for the departures...
...however, with all of the small details considered and finally arranged, whether a fracture of the present American educational tradition will successfully result in a more wieldy form.

The habit of becoming segregated into small groups such as the present fraternities has become so ingrained in the make-up of the undergraduates of today that the transplantation of the English system, that...
...Ambrogio Damiano Ratti, was an agile athlete and a daring Alpinist in his cold youth. Though never a fancy skater or ski jumper, His Holiness was once an intrepid bobsledder and a skilled toboggan steersman. The present twelvemonth, 1929, is his "Jubilee year"-the 50th since he first celebrated Mass-and therefore devout Catholics hoped, last week, that by next Christmas the "Prisoner of the Vatican" will be released and restored to an athletic life...
...especially in New England and the Northwest, dog-racing is becoming popular like all other winter sports. Last week Edward P. Clark won the 220-mile Berlin to Boston race, which stopped at Lowell, Mass., when a thaw spoiled the snow on the road to Boston. At the March winter carnival in The Pas, Man., will be revived the derby from The Pas to Flin Flo and back, with a $2,000 first prize and Emil St. Goddard, present world's champion, an entrant...
