...Empress of Siam. Soon his presence was reported in Princeton. Denied access to the campus he was receiving young men at his lodging in the town. Realizing that among the first to visit Mr. Buchman would most likely be the leaders of the campus religious organization, the Philadelphian Society, the students attended a mass meeting and voted, 394 to 18, that President Hibben appoint a committee to investigate the Philadelphian Society for "undesirable Buchmanism." There was also a vote of 253 to 85 to the effect that "undesirable Buchmanism" was actually in vogue with the Philadelphian Society. Ironically, the mass...
...then it has rarely seemed impressive against Tilden these last several years. Johnston can nearly always beat Vincent Richards, though Richards beats the champion oftener than anybody else.

All three are members of the Legion d'Honneur; all three have contributed to the spring salon since...

The winner, who is National indoor Junior Champion and comes from Philadelphia, had no trouble in defeating the Loomis expert, who won the title last year while a student at Newton High. The back court game of the Philadelphian was particularly brilliant and he seemed able to make his point almost at will...
...Author. William Christian Bullitt is a 35-year-old Philadelphian who, after a brilliant career at Yale, reported abroad and at Washington for the Philadelphia Public Ledger. His abilities and connections obtained him a position in the U.S. State Department, which sent him to Paris attached to the Peace Commission. In 1919 he went on a special mission to Russia, causing a diplomatic ruction of international proportions when, upon his return, he divulged various Allied attitudes toward the Soviet regime. He left the State Department under something of a cloud. In 1921 he accepted the post of "managing editor...
