...statements in many London papers today that the conference is dead or dying are not only premature but really unfair and palpably untrue. Altogether too much pessimism is being voiced. . . . The American delegation is quite prepared to remain here until a successful conclusion. It has shown a great deal of patience...
...does not seem unfair to take the works of these two writers as indicative of the state of the drama in this land of the free and home of the brave.

...does, and many foresighted students would appreciate retaining their papers for future reference in divisional preparation. The present mid-years, in courses ending with the semester, are not returned, and this Spring will doubt less witness, the same condition unless there is a change. This prevailing method is unfair to the student and defeats much of the object of the examination. An improvement would involve simply an announcement of when and where the corrected papers may be secured. Respectfully yours, Frederick Thon...
