This afternoon between the steeply banked walls of the Union Living Room there will occur a spectacle to which only those lucky enough to hold the little blue pasteboard will gain admittance. Always a tense and thrilling affair, the gathering in the Union promises this year to linger long in the memories of those attending. But from the very privilege which is extended to the audience proceeds a peril. Thoughtful only of their own comfort the undergraduates who are expected to fill the living room this afternoon may overlook the fact that they owe a whole hearted support...
...certifying Oliver's sterility, bore a time-honored grudge against both shipper and lawyer.

A language as difficult for the average American...
...plan is to elevate a motor concourse above the railroad right-of-way now labelled Eleventh and Twelfth Avenues and commonly, because of accidents, called "Death Avenue." Ramps to the superstructure will occur at 22nd, 44th and 57th Streets. The whole will cost some $13,500,000 (graft excluded). One boom in Manhattan riverside real estate has already occurred recently, on the Harlem River bank around 80th Street, under the leadership of Vincent Astor. The new concourse was expected to carry the boom from east side to west side, all around the town...
