Flanders, the cockpit of Europe; the Balkans, the checkerboard of European politics; in a word, this has been Continental history for over a century. We may go far in our explanations of the causes of this war, but we must inevitably turn to the land of many races and mongrel nations if we are ever clearly to understand them. The events of July, 1914, were in great part the result of the previous thirty years intrigue in the Balkans. The events of March, 1918, are surely the same.

The Corporation, taking the matter out of the hands of the Faculty as well as the Class itself, have put an end to petty disputes, and a programme (of a somewhat mongrel nature, to be sure) has been arranged. The morning is to be occupied with a single event, interesting only to those immediately concerned, - the breakfast given by Mr. Lowell to the graduating class.
