...when the permanent plan went into effect, Banker Nichols grudgingly put the "Member Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation" legend on his bank statements as required by law. Under the legend he once wrote in appalling taste: "A thousand-and-more years before our Country's famous Hyde Park tenor made his premier appearance in front of the microphone, the principles underlying sound banking existed. They will always exist-not even the melodious croonings of an embittered and frustrated President can change them...

...Freshman curriculum. Shorter assignments, more varied and interesting lectures and broader scopes for outside reading cannot help but induce a large number of first year men to ignore past prejudice and to judge the course on its merits. If these reforms are religiously preserved and if the general tenor of Government 1 is lightened, it will deserve to regain its former place in the sun and receive the mark of approval of the Freshman class...

It was 11:55 Prn. when the Senate finally gave in. But the House, though too tired for adjournment horseplay, could not stop talking.

...orchestra which had traveled the greatest distance. Likewise this week there were to be banjo, mandolin, hillbilly, Hawaiian, junior, electro-phonic and popularity contests. To be seen and heard in Minneapolis were the most famed virtuosos of fretted instrumentalism, some of them playing on instruments worth thousands of dollars. Tenor Banjoist Albert Bellson played, for the first time anywhere, Bach's famed Chaconne, which is ordinarily a sombre, magnificent violin showpiece. Rev. Adam F. Hunkler, O.S.B., self-taught Catholic priest, played the five-string finger banjo on the same program with that maestro known to all Hawaiian guitarists, Sophocles...
