Into a beautiful little town across the Thames from Windsor Castle, with narrow streets, ancient Gothic and Tudor buildings and the fairest cricket pitch in England, visitors poured last week until it looked like a crowded London suburb. All came to see a 100-year-old ceremony at a 500-year-old school-Eton's famed Fourth of June festival celebrating the birthday of Patron George III. They looked at the playing fields where Waterloo was won, watched the fireworks, the traditional cricket matches, the river procession of ten racing shells. They were no end impressed by the strange...

The great monument to be erected here will commemorate a son of Harvard, who while still in his earliest manhood met a here's end in one of the most touching tragedies of modern times. Life had seemed to hold out to him the fairest promise. Secure in the affection of family and friends for he had won the respect, admiration and attachment of those who knew him, free from the harsh necessity of toiling for his daily bread, he could pursue the scholarly interests that were dear to him and gratify the refinement...
...first time in Cuban history military men watched over the polling places.

Neither Peers nor newshawks could restrain smoldering glances at the visitors' necks, chalk-white with rice powder. The genteel interplay of glances was abruptly interrupted by Imperialist Baron Ryoitsu Asada...
...legal profession has lost much of its old standing for many reasons. Mr. Landis has qualities which, disseminated over the years, might go far to recover this prestige. He combines with the clearest and fairest of minds a devotion to truth and the right that the country sorely needs in every branch of public service. Indeed, democracy can scarcely survive without the example and leading of such men in posts of responsibility. The whole legal profession is to be congratulated on President Conant's acumen. The appointment is nothing less than distinguished. --N.Y. Herald Tribune
