Last week Premier King's Liberal henchmen whooped up voters of their persuasion at Prince Albert, Saskatchewan, where a vacant seat had been specially created by the resignation of one of Mr. King's friends in order that he might campaign for it.

At Louvain adherents of the new professor feared he might see too many vacant benches at his first lecture. So with theological students they packed the auditorium. They need not have done so, for he was so self-confident, withal so modest in his pretensions, so serene, so famed already that for that first lecture and for all others during the subsequent quarter century he never...
Princeton, N. J., January 29.--Frank Peabody Jr. '27, of Montgomery, Ala., was elected last night to the position of Chairman of the Princetonian. The post was left vacant by the resignation of Larragh Delancey '27, who has been advised by his doctor to leave Princeton because of poor health...
