...last-minute rush of applications for college rooms during the year 1925-26 is in prospect at the Bursar's office today if all these rooms are to be occupied. So far the number of applications received has been far below the number of rooms which will be vacated in June, the Bursar's office announced last night...
...dark lakes of Il Pitrgatorio, his round muscles bulging under his sleek brown skin. He looked truly what he was-the bantamweight champion of the world. He charged his pathetic opponent like a volley of round-shot. But what was this? A spattering of left jabs stopped his rush, jerked back his head, made the flesh puff around his eyes.

In the Committee on Relations with the Alumni, and the Secretary for Alumni Affairs, is the machinery, gladly offered...
...enforced hallelujahs to a reigning caste have broken down any respect for individual merit, he says, and goes on heretically: "There is no taboo among us, however silly, that cannot be matched by an equally senseless one characteristic of European castes." Lest the minions of enraged ship-owners should rush incontinently upon him, however, Mr. Lowrie hastens to add that he is not discouraging in the least the desire to see the beauties of Europe; all he wants to prove is that America has as much culture per square inch as any other country...
