Then, with a decidedly horror-stricken parlor remark, "Audacious" utters a "Do you know, my dear?" to the effect that Harvard men actually go to their nine o'clocks in full dress after returning from affairs lasting until dawn in the mauve ballrooms of Greater Boston. Tickled with this scandal, the dilettante society reporter proceeds to explain that the list is graded socially and not athletically. To quote: "If a man goes to Harvard and makes a varsity team, he usually makes the good clubs and therefore 'rates' at Harvard. But many who 'rate' at Harvard do not 'rate' socially...
Sirs: A University of California alumnus finds it difficult to hold his peace, upon reading, in column entitled "Football," TIME of Nov. 3, the remark that in being defeated by Southern California 41-12 last week, Stanford University suffered "the worst beating any college has ever given Stanford."

In such a state as California where both the legislature and executive are of the same party a left-handed selection of the new districts would prove one more epitome of American political trends. The remark made long ago that a statesman, according to the American definition, is a dead politician, will perhaps once again be justified by the ancient and not so honorable practice of gerrymandering...
...leaders?James Middleton Cox, John William Davis and Alfred Emanuel Smith, the party's last three presidential nominees, together with Senate Leader Joseph Taylor Robinson, House Leader Garner, National Chairman Raskob and Executive Chairman Shouse?signed a manifesto on the party's future course. They said they regarded their "remark- able victory" as an "opportunity for constructive service." The Republican tariff they flayed as the "apotheosis of bad economy" but added: "Whatever changes may be considered necessary to rid the present act of its outstanding enormities, nothing is further from [our] minds than a general revision of the tariff."
