...Last week the same Canadian experts who had reached this impasse in negotiation a few weeks before returned to Washington with new inspiration and new orders. Three days later Prime Minister King hustled in to see what he could do in person. His hopes for greater success, judging by his campaign utterances, rested simply on the fact that his heart was for trade, whereas his predecessor's mind had been preoccupied with tariff. The new Prime Minister is by no means an Anglophile. His predecessor's Empire Trade Preference Agreements are one of the things that Mr. King...
Definite they were. The Assembly candidate whom Jim Farley was "particularly anxious" to see win was trounced by Republican Laurens H. Hamilton, great-great-grandson of Alexander Hamilton and nephew of J. P. Morgan.

In this same period Shelley, wild-eyed, long-haired, was startling the swells by tossing his incoherent republican pamphlets into their carriages. Byron's tragi-comedy began when Lady Caroline Lamb, capricious...
Unfortunately the reasons for this college's success hold very little suggestion for the improvement of Harvard College. The idea, in Dr. Morgan's works, was that Antioch should be "concerned with the development of the entire personality of the student in good proportion." To temper academic studies with the discipline and responsibilities of actual life, students spend half their time studying only, and the other half at practical work, generally a job in some business outside the college...
