...might have been supposed, this subject requires quite an extensive study of the evidences from zoological classification, embryology, paleontology, and geographical distribution of both the ancient and the present relations of man. This is done in Anthropology A without requiring too much detail which would be boring as well as more difficult. On the whole, the lectures are interesting and even amusing to some, while the reading includes selections from such authorities as Darwin and Neman, both of which are well worth while and not too technical...
...Dramatic Club's performance is tame, it is certainly the faultiness of the play, not of the production. Mr. Goodnow, who knows his theatre, has done all that is humanly possible to fill up the cracks in Milue's poor construction with good directorial coment. The result is a good production of a faulty, but not uninteresting play Act I is dull writing: in Act II Milne strains our imagination and the physical possibilities of the stage in the arrangement of the dream scene. Act III is almost worthy of Milne as we have come to know his fine abilities...
...slim, steady hands, off one of which (the left) the Arctic cold bit a finger one day when his plane was forced down. For several years he piloted Capt. Sir George Hubert Wilkins, explorer, over icy wildernesses. Their greatest exploit, as great a piece of avigation as ever was done, was flying from Point Barrow, Alaska, over converging meridians of longitude and across shifting uncharted lines of magnetic force, to Spitsbergen (TIME, April 30, 1928).

He attended the Republican conventions of 1888 and 1892, but he bided his time and saw how things were done. Then in 1896, when he was ready, when he had found his man William McKinley, he quietly retired from business, went into politics with a bang, and put his candidate across on the first ballot. From that time until Death came for him in his Washington mansion (1904), Mark Hanna...
Sixth, the chief argument of the west is based on the word "can't." "Prohibition can't be enforced" is their chief stock in trade. If, even in its present state of partial enforcement, it is better that what it displaced, why not say frankly that it has done a great deal of good, but hadn't accomplished all that was expected of it. If that is not true, why are the wets so vociferous in proclaiming that they do not want the saloon back? If it is true, why not admit it frankly and then see what is next...
