...German Government gave notice, last week, of a bill to revalorize $17,500,000,000 of War and pre-War Government loans (Federal, state and municipal) at $875,000,000, or 5% of their original value. This was a reminder that Germany has not escaped the cost of the War; the Government is to pay 5%, the people 95%; for, to the latter, such partial revaluation is all but equivalent to repudiation...
...trenches which have been made, and even on the surface, old remains from former buildings have been found. An English penny, dated 1742, the year of the erection of Holden Chapel, was found several days ago by the foreman. Tony, close beside the chapel.

Moderwell '12, and the "Scarecrow" by Peroy MacKaye '97, a production written during his undergraduate days and warmly praised by H.T. Parker '89 of the Boston Transcript...
...season of Mr. Arthur Whiting's Expositions of chamber and classical music have been so interesting that at the request of the CRIMSON it seems worth while to make a definite review of the compositions presented. Although the enthusiasm of the students and their attendance are almost back to pre war standards, there are a good many undoubted music lovers in the University who do not yet appreciate what a remarkable opportunity these Expositions afford to become familiar with a great variety of classical and modern musical literature. And as the Expositions are supported so generously by contributions from...
