Heidelberg University-known to theatre-goers as the scene of The Student Prince, known to the learned world as the oldest of famed German universities-will receive $400,000 from the U. S. Aroused by the university's needs, U. S. Ambassador to Germany Jacob Gould Schurman, once a Heidelberg student, last week undertook to raise the fund. Founded in 1385, surrounded by wooded hills on which the ruins of Heidelberg Castle in the state of Baden still stand, Heidelberg finds that antiquity and a picturesque setting cannot provide for material needs. The main building is cluttered with debris...
Equally true it is that the Reading Period is putting a pressure on the Library and on the nerves of the student body which serves to bring out the defects contained in both these systems. If there is any weakness in the supplies at the library, or even in its aid, it cannot hope to escape detection under the present conditions. If, on the other hand, any student has not been careful of his diet or has not slept sufficiently, the fact is sure to become appareat the minute he finds himself rebuffed by any of the minor defects...
Last year the Student Council successfully introduced the budget system to take care of the running expenses of undergraduate organizations as well as charities in which the University is interested, a method calculated to save much time and trouble for all concerned. This year the system has worked much less successfully, and more than one appeal has been made that pledges be paid as promptly as possible. In this connection it is particularly significant that the Princeton Student Council which has in recent years employed a community chest for the same purpose has been faced, by the insufficient response...
...situation at Princeton will scarcely pass unnoticed in view of the fact that a very similar situation seems to be in the making at Harvard. At Princeton where the community chest has been used for several years past, the Student Council has further been forced to send letters to the parents or guardians explaining the situation and seeking their help in meeting the obligations neglected by the undergraduates. Such a crisis has not been reached as yet at Harvard; it might never occur. But to such as are prone to take the budget pledge somewhat lightly and to have...
...Student Council's recommendation that the University Register be published, despite the fact that delays due to fire in the press establishment in which the book was being printed will retard the appearance of the volume until the middle of February, is probably the best attitude to take toward an already tardy project. Last year there was no Register at all; this year there will apparently be one which although somewhat late in arriving will be, one hopes, at least satisfactory in other respects. The question undoubtedly may be asked as to whether a Register appearing in February...
