...startling addition. The usual editorial entitled "The 19--Red Book" is missing. But the words must be recorded, even though modesty prevails among the present editors. They have again, as in the past, pursued with energy and admirable initiative the task of recording faithfully the occurences and the spirit of their class Sophomores could do no more...
This proposal, or at least its spirit, for such radical departures demand exact scrutiny before acceptance, is heartily commendable.

At Spencer, Iowa, a delegation of 50 Iowans met Colonel Starling, took him on a tour through the vicinity of Spirit Lake. Colonel Starling, with many a prospective site yet to see, neither encouraged nor discouraged the Floete "boom." ?A swarm of bees which settled in a tree on the White House grounds last October were identified by government bee culturists as the same swarm which last October escaped from the grounds of the Smithsonian...
