...suddenly what with the spring and all there flashed into his mind-one of those inspirations for which the Vagabond is famous-a line of what might, with judicious help of the riming dictionary, be a poem: "If April comes can May be far behind." It had a familiar ring; the vibration, he thought which shivers through all great poetry. But no, its ring was too familiar; he had heard something very much like it before.

...Aboard the U. S. S. Utah returning from South America, President Hoover was in- troduced to Bull-in-the-Ring as a form of exercise.

Bulls-in-the-ring...

...gift of Alumnus Briggs Cunningham. He bought and presented to the school the ring in which Fisticuffer James Joseph Tunney defeated onetime world champion William Harrison Dempsey in Philadelphia (TIME, Oct. 4, 1926). It will be installed in the rambling gymnasium after the basketball season. Here many students, more paperweight than featherweight, will box, mimicking in miniature the giant punches of the champions who once battled there. Here too will box lusty footballers who later may lead teams at Wesleyan, Yale, Princeton...
