Those who flunk German A for the first half year or fare not too well in that course may take the first half year over again under the name of German C. It leads to German D, corresponding to the second half year of German A, which may be taken in the following fall. Dr. Howe, who is in charge of German C, is a teacher of the old school and is one of the very few men who can make nearly bearable a course which the vast majority are taking merely to satisfy language requirements...
...Society of Rosicrucians (Rosenkreuzer) dates from early in the 13th Century, when it was more a class of isolated individuals than an organized cult. The members were Europeans, mostly Germans. During the Reformation they favored Lutheranism as opposed to Roman Catholicism. The "society" was popularly supposed to take its name from one Christian Rosenkreuz, who was supposed to have discovered Oriental secrets on a pilgrimage.

For yesterday, the will of a deceased Camden, New Jersey, real estate agent disclosed a sum of $5000 to be devoted to the erection of a fitting and lasting memorial in King Leonidas' home town...
...Thompson, college editors and the slightly envious press agents of the eastern mayors to the contrary, is not a complete fool. His slogan is obviously, "praise me or damn me, but be sure to mention my name", and there is little doubt that all the maligning he receives in the public press will do more than increase his plurality in the next Chicago election. Politics and publicity are synonymous, and the easiest way to attain the latter is by insulting the intelligentsia and amusing the thinking minority.
