...through the White House scarcely a sound was heard-for it was Thanksgiving Day. In the morning, the President read his newspapers, scanned his mail. Before noon the calm grew more profound, for the President and Mrs. Coolidge together with Mr. and Mrs. Frank W. Stearns of Boston and Attorney General John Garibaldi Sargent had departed for worship at the Metropolitan Methodist Episcopal Church,* where Bishop William F. McDowell preached. Upon their return, the five lunched lightly. Then the President napped while the rest of the party went to see Ethel Barrymore in The Constant Wife...

...rushes are still as popular, where Freshman fights are as great a ceremony as ever before the regime of football. So if President Butcher considers football as the lesser of two evils he is merely adding it to the greater. His refutation of Mr. White's argument is not sound. It is possible that he has found the game a preventative for hazing in his own college and if such is the case his difficulties are removed. But in other colleges the situation remains the same. The "blow-off valve of collegiates" in many cases has been only...
