...raged for more than a year about what inscription shall stand over the new Library of Louvain, built with U. S. cash (TIME, Oct. 17, 1927, et seq.). Even amid the excitement of campaigning to become President of the U. S., Herbert Hoover found time to air his strong view about the inscription. Last week that view was overruled by a Belgian court. Piquant was the triumph of the new library's U. S. architect, potent and temperamental Whitney Warren, famed in Manhatten alike for his ability and for appearances at socialite functions in a blue silk shirt...

And this picture of the Corps is sure to create an impression on all those who see it today. A real, vivid impression, not one which will be swallowed up in a thousand others, but which will...
...these courses are so planned as to be of interest to men with either a slight knowledge of music or none at all, but unfortunately they are both restricted in numbers. This restriction, especially since men below a certain academic standing, are the ones discriminated against, is unfortunate in view of the increasing number of men interested in the music. Mechanically an increase in numbers could readily be taken care of by having an extra assistant in each course, and any danger of their being crowded with men who considered them as "snaps"--as they are reputed...
