...vote of the Freshman Class will be taken next Wednesday, June 13, as to the advisability of investing a part of the surplus of the class fund in the Liberty Loan. The fund raised by the class of 1920 was unusually large and consequently a large portion of it is available for the purchase of bonds. The proposition has the support of the class officers still in college and many men have stated that they are heartily in favor of it.

...little boy who abdicated as Emperor of China in 1912 is to complete his education in this country. In the official service of China now are young men who were sent here while boys to be educated at the cost of funds which we repaid to China from the surplus of the Boxer indemnity over the damages chargeable to it. Also high in leadership of private enterprises are still other young China-men taught here in the same manner. If the ex-Emperor is a lad of the right sort, history may be made by him and the manner...
