...have never seen a finer spirit than that of the outgoing Administration. One hears among its members only good wishes for the new Administration, expressions of desire to be of any possible service. After all, they are good Americans and in foreign relations more than any other activity of the Government politics plays a very small part.WILLIAM R. CASTLE '00, UNDER SECRETARY OF STATE...
...loss to Princeton does not prove a great deal, and the team, in its regular line-up, will have several advantages over the sons of Eli.

Because the loans were made to different units in the system, they were not in violation of the Illinois law forbidding loans to one company in excess of 15% of capital funds. But that his bank had violated the spirit of the law Banker Dawes did admit. The collateral securing the loans was put up by Central Republic for its $90,000,000 R. F. C. loan last summer. Banker Dawes concluded: "I think a feeling of sadness should come over any banker who had a part in the negotiation of loans...
