...much sympathy will attend the fleeing Deputy. The common opinion is that duplicity has only got its due, and sober Italians will be more than glad to be rid of so dangerous a plotter against law and order. Indeed, the fate, of the would-be Italian Lenine is possibly an indication that Bolshevism is on the wane in Italy: Given a full dinner-pall and the mishaps of the "Russian Deputy" to chuckle over, the Italian workman will perhaps prove safe for democracy. As for Misiano, he will doubtless soon be on his way once more to his Russian fatherland...
...Christian Science regards as real only that which can be attributed to God, the only real cause, precluding any effect from any other cause.

The underlying cause of the meeting was to try to get rid of the present ill-feeling against Yale." I know of other meeting of a similar nature, whose object was perhaps rather to establish a more friendly feeling toward Yale than to get rid of an ill-feeling. And Princeton has done the same thing...
...Yale Club on Thursday evening, when three Andover "grads" and a member of the Yale faculty spoke on existing conditions at Yale and urged a strong representation of Andover men for next year's Freshman class. The underlying cause of the meeting was to try and get rid of the present ill-feeling against Yale...
