...fortunes of the Liberal Party may fluctuate. It may at one moment (as was the case in 1906) seem to be so strong as to be able to defy any conceivable hostile combination. At another moment, as after the 'coupon' election* in 1918, it may seem to be so battered and mutilated as to be on the verge of annihilation. But there is only one way in which it can ever be killed, and that is by suicide...

...answers seem to be: "Not much tripe" and "Very well in deed." In chapters on "The Sex Urge," "Frigidity and Incompatibility", and "Matrimony Wreckers'' there is much rehearsal of sex-psychology- prudish parents, prurient children; ignorant girls, boorish men - that will seem, in its sanity, almost old-fashioned to those who are brave enough to buy the book after they learn that the long, frank fourth chapter is on "Homosexuality."

Haggerty '27 leading a strong line-up, the University runners should make an impressive showing against the hitherto untested Dartmouth team. Last year, the Crimson won by the narrow margin of one point. The Crimson runners will probably be: E. C. Haggerty '27, E. B. Boyee '27, Leslie Flaksman '29, Edward Gordon '27, H. M. Kullman '27, L. J. Novograd '27, J. W. Reid...
