When the privilege was given me in 1916 of attaching the letters S. T. M. to my name, there was some discussion at the Newton Theological Institution as to whether they meant Master of Sacred Theology or Master of Systematic Theology. I just looked up the diploma and find that it says Sacrae Theologiae Magister, but I wonder why the "sacrae." Isn't all theology sacred, or supposed to be? I vastly prefer your interpretation of the mystic initials as Master of Scientific Theology. Now if you will only change my useless B. D. (Bachelor of Divinity) to mean...
...Lowden. In Illinois, the State Supreme Court declared constitutional a law substituting a primary election for the caucus system of nominating candidates for state offices, including delegates to President-nominating conventions. Underlings of Frank Orren Lowden hastened to enter his name as a primary candidate, rejoicing that he now had a chance to get nominating votes in his home State, where, while the caucus system prevailed, he was at the mercy of the State Bosses, Mayor Thompson of Chicago and Governor Len Small.

Dr. Ludwig has named the four greatest living Americans. In his opinion Jane Addams, Orvills Wright, Thomas Edison and John D. Rockefeller are our ranking citizens. It is rumored that upon one of these four (or possible another, for Dr. Ludwig is expected to add another name to his list before completing his present tour) the eminent writer will fasten as the subject...
...helped save it. John D. Rockefeller represents genius and one kind of power. Orville Wright personifies Homeric daring. The fifth choice will probably be one who represents per-eminently the elusive spirit of America. There will doubtless be many suggestions, but the choice might well narrow down to the name of Alfred E. Smith and Andrew J. Volstead as the two men who at present wield the most influence on the spirits of the nation...
