Boston city officials notified the H. A. A. a year ago that permission to erect the temporary wooden stands would not be granted another season, due to the danger of fire, unless the University was able to advance a plan providing for a permanent remedy of the seating problem in the Stadum. There has been an understanding that if such a plan were presented, with the assurance that construction would be complete by the fall of 1929, permission to rebuild the temporary stands would be given for this fall.

A fact like that cannot be fitly explained by the mere historian. It is a subject for a writer of great tragedy--or farcical comedy...
...undeveloped natural resources, but China has been held sacred by the governments of the world ever since the Open Door policy was adopted. Much as the abstract principle of liberty appeals to publics of every land, it would be almost too inconsistent for England to turn from her Egyptian "problem" or the United States from its Nicaraguan campaign to warn Japan out of Manchuria. But altruism by proxy is a favorite virtue of governments, and may yet save China from her neighbor...
