Cambridge and Oxford Universities are planning to entertain American students engaged in war work who wish to spend their furloughs in England. As many soldiers will frequently cross the Channel to get away from trench life, these institutions offer the privileges of living and eating within their walls...
...speaker will be Professor Wallace C. Sabine, Hollis Professor of Mathematics and Natural Philosophy. He will speak in the New Lecture Hall tomorrow evening at 8.15 o'clock, taking as his subject, "Aviation and the War." Professor Sabine was away all last year on leave of absence and he spend the entire time abroad doing scientific work connected with the war, in this way gaining an unusual firsthand knowledge of conditions in the warring countries, especially in England, France and Italy...

Undoubtedly it is less frigid than Ayer; in fact the center of Long Island is supposedly ten degrees warmer than New York City itself. The coating of snow and ice will keep the terrible dust down; the monotany of swamp-oak will be broken by this time by the newly-laid out drill grounds and cantonments...
