...student is found to be a worthy liability, and inculcated with a proper sense of responsibility for his debt, there is no reason for the University to hesitate to make him a loan. Unattached gifts or money gleaned from economies within the University could be applied to no worthier purpose in the future. The alternative is the exclusion from Harvard of a considerable number of deserving students...

The beaming discoverer, Monsieur le Docteur Gauducheau was clapped, cheered and feted, at Paris, by 150 gourmets banqueting under the auspices of La Societe d'Acclimatisation (French National Society of Acclimatization). This august body, unique, is devoted to popularizing in France new or outlandish products, processes, animals, or plants which seem to possess authentic merit. Last week the blushing and bowing discoverer of intrasauces...
