...wiping his brow, praising Allah, announcing his decision to abdicate. The Sultan of Muscat differs from most rulers in his feelings for the land of his birth. He hates the place. Muscat is the world's hottest city, with an average annual rainfall of only 3½ inches, frequent temperatures of 189 degrees in the sun. The Sultan spends most of his time in India, which he finds like Bar Harbor by comparison, but he spends Ramadan with his people. Short time ago he swore that this would be his last, abdicated in favor...
...individual courses are to be reduced the tutorial system finally comes into its own. Since its inception more than a decade and a half ago the student has always been forced to cater both to it and to the old ideal of education by courses which involved frequent checks and stressed purely factual knowledge. Through the years there were progressive changes, to be sure: the introduction of the Reading Period; the Junior Divisionals in History, Government, and Economics; and the more recent modifications in the English Divisionals.

Any story pertaining to the University is immediately overated merely because it concerns Harvard; it is a delight for most city editors to attach a riot story for instance...
...Sunday evening was a little slow and quite flavorless for certain blithe spirits. A little group of five fortified itself with frequent passings of the bottle and then took niblicks, spades, and pickaxes and went out looking for the fraternity snow statuary. Men had put hours of devoted effort into creating fragile dazzling white figures, with every shading of form, illumination and position carefully planned to create an effect of maximum beauty. That meant nothing to the forthright five; they smashed them all: Theta Chi's lovely Snow Girl, the majestic statue of Elcazar on the Green...
