...Student Council must have recognized the fact that the flexibility of the proposition was its greatest recommendation. Its purpose is probably less to bring about the execution of details than to establish the practicability of a cloistered area below Mount Auburn Street. The interpretation of the report in a narrow sense would make the Council appear presumptuous; its interpretation as a basic principle on which to construct the new unit allows a remarkable freedom with the ultimate accomplishment of the desired...
Sirs: Your narrow-mindedness in the matter of Mr. VARE Senator-elect from Pennsylvania, shown on page 10 of the Jan. 7 issue, prompts me to end you herewith a page from the Congressional Record of Jan. 3, 1929, which includes a list of the United States Senators; and in alphabetical order appears the name of Senator Vare. . . .

"Peace to all nations" says that statue's pedestal...
While whistles, bells and yells made farewell din in the narrow harbor of Dunedin, New Zealand, last week, Commander Richard Evelyn Byrd's South Pole Expedition started from that port for a year and a half in Antarctica. He, his scientists and able seamen were aboard the bark City of New York. There was no breeze flirting down Dunedin's forested mountains to tap-tap her sails; so her mateship the steamer Eleanor Boiling hauled her down the narrow Otago Inlet like a puffing rustic leading his wench through a lane...
