Easter Sunday, falling last week in Rumania according to the Orthodox Church calendar, was to be a great day for a cabal of Rumanian Army officers. Naturally King Carol, his fat little son Michael, his brother Nicholas and Queen Mother Marie, would go to worship in the 270-year-old Cathedral, which stands high above Bucharest's gardens and gilt cupolas. Someone would throw a grenade, another and another into the midst of the royal worshippers. Entirely rid of its eccentric royal family, Rumania would be ready for a military dictatorship. One chore would remain and that would...
...have never met Mr. Michael Mullins, and do not know whether he is a Harvard professor or a Boston Barkeep, or whether he lives on Brattle Street, or in South Boston; but if he is not the cream in your coffee, I trust he will always be the clam in your chowder; for under his inspiration, if newspaper accounts are correct, your organization has just given a demonstration of a truth often forgotten in academic classrooms, namely, that there is a fundamental distinction between pacifism and peace.

If any German student were to appear on a university campus with a sign reading "Down with war!" he would be mobbed and probably arrested. And yet this sort of tactics at Harvard made a farce of what would, if taken seriously, have been an exhibition of sophomoric folly. So long...
From his lofty seat of honor Michael Mullins, Exalted High Commissioner of the Bowl, Bone, and Banner, of the Michael Mullins Chowder and Marching Club, announced that he was highly gratified at the response given his anti-anti-war mass meeting on the steps of Widener Library yesterday noon. Mr. Mullins's statement coincided strangely with a statement given out at noon yesterday by the National Student League, sponsors of the pacifistic meeting scheduled to take place at the same time and place...
