...outstanding Cabinet development of the week was that Mr. Hoover made no announcement ui ; ny Cabinet appointment; that, among thousands of words, of guesses and forecasts there was no authoritative statement. Predictions, however, verged on unanimity on two Cabinet matters. In the first place Andrew Mellon was conceded probable re-appointment to the position of Treasury Secretary. A two-hour conference between Mr. Mellon and Mr. Hoover served as the basis for the story that the Treasury Secretary and the President-Elect had reached an "accord."

The paramount conviction is that Memorial Hall has, in this ultramodern age, proved the nemesis of the dance and that its success would...
Paralleling the announcement of Professor Tatlock's resignation is the statement that Professor John Tucker Murray, of the Class of 1899, has been appointed to fill the vacancy. Ten years as member of the English department and four years as director of the Harvard Summer School indicate a wide and qualifying experience, which augurs well for his incumbency of the English chair...
