...CRIMSON'S recent canvass of student feeling toward a University dining hall has been taken as the final criterion of the lack of present interest in the project. On May 26 3000 pledge cards were sent out to all members of the three lower classes in the college and to all graduate students except those in the Business and Medical Schools. So far only 125 of these cards have been returned with signatures of men willing to eat in the proposed dining hall. This number falls far short of the 500 figure set by President Lowell as a necessary preliminary...
...training in judgement. Evidently the New York courts have realized this and hope to take advantage of it. Perhaps the realization may spread, and it may some to be more generally felt that it is more important for the community to have lawyers of judgement than to be tolerant toward individuals who are less qualified to serve it.

The mere conception of such a possibility would be enough to send Winston Churchill stark mad. So England is taking every step toward making Egypt a safe and strong imperial second line of defense...
Once the policy of imperialism is admitted right, the wisdom of England's latest move is thrown into sharp relief by the new obstacles strewn in Mussolini's path in the Aegean and Adriatic by Roumania and Jugo-Slavia, obstacles well calculated to turn the attention of the Quirinal toward Egypt.

Co-incident yesterday with the return to power of the Bratiano, French controlled, anti-Italian government, after a month's exile, comes news...
Even at this time, submerged as the student is with the final obituaries of his present courses and the preliminary salvos to those of the future, it is not too soon to cast one's eyes toward next year's experiment, an experiment which has fortunately received comparatively little attention from the popular press but one which, were all its consequences realized, is little less than revolutionary. The respite of classes which will take effect before midyear and final examinations in the college year 1927-1928, accepted by the majority of undergraduates under the vague head of "improvements" will...
