Figures made public by the Dean's office last week show the comparison of this year's enrollment of the Freshman Class with that of 1933. The 15 states in the National Scholarship area, including Michigan, Ohio, Wisconsin, Illinois, Minnesota, Iowa, Indiana, Missouri, Kentucky, Tennessee, California, Oregon, Washington, New Mexico, and Louisiana, had in 1933 an enrollment of 103, or 10.5 per cent of the total of the Freshman class that entered that year, as compared to 176, or 19 per cent this year.

After Dartmouth's second touch-down, everyone realized that only a series of football miracles could save Harvard. In place of a miracle, a deluge of Biblical proportions arrived, crowning out all memories of last year's Army mud festival. A solid sheet of water covered the midfield area and rapidly gained sufficient depth to actually float the ball in places. Every play looked more like an outboard motor race than a football game, and when the backs were tackled they stirred up impressive "bow waves" as they skidded to a stop.

Cool on the banks of piney Lake Mendota rests the quiet city of Madison, centre of a rich dairy and farming area, home of Wisconsin's State capitol and State university.

...British insurers said they think they have made "a substantial contribution to the cause of world peace," explained that property owners unable to take out war risk policies will be forced to start "working for peace," concluded: "The wide radius of action of modern aircraft has made the area of destruction almost illimitable. Incendiary bombs have increased enormously the potential damage to property. Writing of war risk insurance on land has become in fact little more than a gamble, which plays no part in insurance, where rates are based on scientific application of the law of averages as ascertained through...
