...Premier of France can tell roughly how he is doing by his success or failure to bring the Chamber and Senate cheering to their feet by a climactic purple passage or two leading up to La Patrie! Last week Premier Leon Blum, an intellectual of parts, had the nerve-racking experience of finding that neither the Chamber nor Senate would spark to a speech in which he used all the sure-fire La Patrie twists, introducing his new Popular Front Cabinet...
...Dembitz Brandeis before his appointment to the U. S. Supreme Court was to get the Massachusetts Legislature to pass a law allowing savings banks to issue life insurance. That was in 1907.

Mason Fernald, winner of the 110-yard high hurdles in the Oxford-Cambridge Meet, has not had the same success on the winter boards. Shields and Day, Yale Sophomores, have succeeded in dethroning Donovan and Watson of Dartmouth while Fernald has not fulfilled expectations by graduating to that rank. A slow starter, he may come into his own over the longer distance outdoors. Fred MacIsaac is another Sophomore who should strengthen Crimson track. In the B.A.A. Games he cleared 13 feet...
