...distinguished senate of Indiana, 50 strong, sat last week as a court for the first time in 92 years. The immediate cause was a bitter quarrel between two middleaged men in the ill-favored town of Muncie, Ind. The reason, which the senate decided was good, sufficient and constitutional, was that one of the quarrelers, a circuit court judge named Clarence W. Dearth, appeared to have committed acts for which he deserved impeachment. That the other quarreler, Editor George R.

...steel corsets, straw-hatted, ride to the scene of mobilization on tandem bicycles. Among them is Mary, "San Antonio belle and sweetheart of the regiment" (Mary Astor).

They posted a deputy to keep strangers from their grounds. They observed a self-imposed censorship of conversation. If that traditional confidant and encyclopedist of Lawrenceville...
...thing that this unpleasant childish quarrel between Harvard and Princeton has not been allowed to cease. While official parties are not directly responsible for this newest utterance, it does show that they should exercise better supervision and keep such articles from print. From the outside, it seems that Princeton is being made he "goat" at the expense of Harvard. If there is a bit of truth in these clams, for the sake of decency, let it come out through the proper official spokesmen and thus settle the matter once and for all while it is fresh in the mind...
