...more intimate relations in Pan America, yet we of the United States too frequently style ourselves "Americans", without remembering that there are others with an equal claim to that title. The knowledge of life and thought in South America, as portrayed in its drama, will help us to understand its character and ideals, and will create a more sympathetic attitude. With the Dramatic Club's usual careful production, supplemented by Coppee's delicate French play, the program is no less diverting than distinctively worth while...

At Princeton, we understand, the hat exchange building was a total loss owing to the rush of business. At Cambridge the exchange building was a total loss owing to the rush of business. At Cambridge the exchange is unable to give satisfaction to a great many anxious individuals. Whether they will spend their wrath on the present wearers of their hats is a question to be answered shortly...
