...have responded to the introduction of the presiding officer of the Commencement Day exercises have included many names that were to become famous. Scholars, historians, playwrights, statesmen, and even chief executives of the nation have thought it their first honor. Since 1642 Commencement Day parts have been spoken, a tradition that it is safe to say has no rival in the United States...
...smuggled last December from Italy across Austria and into Hungary, where they arrived on New Year's Day. This smugglery (a flagrant violation of the Treaty of Trianon under which Hungary is disarmed) has caused Czechoslovakia, Jugoslavia and Rumania, to demand a League investigation. Therefore, last week, Continental statesmen were electrified when it was announced, at Budapest, that the machine gun parts had been ordered broken up and would be sold as junk.

The new treaty text, temporarily withheld from publication last week, was announced to provide...
...power stepped, last week, the first so-called "Labor" Cabinet of Norway, a group of Socialist and Communist statesmen whose political complexions are if not red extremely pink. Their first act was to propose that military training shall be abandoned this year, and that the State shall undertake a national monopoly to buy and distribute grain. Has Norway then "gone Red?" To know her people is to understand how laughable is such a suggestion...
