Secretaries of State came and went, but Mr. Carr remained the faithful, almost everlasting servant of the Department of State. In 1924 he saw the seed of 1895 reach its full bloom in the Rogers Act. The diplomatic and consular services became one; at last, the U. S. consulate became something more distinguished than a passport and visa office. Thus, able men such as Mr. Kisner, trained in the consular service, can readily step up into ministerships and ambassadorships. Probably the great ambassadorships to the Court of St. James's, to France, to Germany, to Japan will always remain...
...Atlantic, aboard the U.S.S. Eastern Glade, bound out from Norfolk, Va., to Cape Town, S. Afr., the captain sweated to recall what simple medical skill he had stored up. Two of his crew were dying and he had no ship's doctor. Nor could his wireless, fumbling about, reach a ship with a doctor. It did, however, make contact with the U. S. S.

With a peculiar gait, comparable perhaps to that displayed by great open field runners such as Grange and Mahan, he moves up the ice at a speed that is not apparent from the spectators' seats. On the defensive, his tremendous reach, his weight and his aggressiveness make him effective if not graceful. Coady, who will report for hockey after a two weeks lay-off, is of all the Crimson skaters the least versatile, but he makes up, in the excellence of his specialty what he lacks in all around ability...
Speaking will begin at 8 o'clock, when A. J. Ostheimer '29 will talk on his experiences in the Canadian Rockies last summer, particularly of his ascent of Mount Forbes and Lyell. He was the first man ever to reach the summit of Mount Lyell...
