...Board will examine the complete records of all applicants for readmission and will demand of candidates the strongest assurance of future success. The passing of an approved course in the Harvard Summer School with an honor grade (A or B) may be considered as a reasonable basis for readmission and in general is regarded by the Administrative Board as the most satisfactory evidence of work done. The Harvard Summer School opens on July 8, 1929. In special cases steady employment of a different nature may be approved...
...Freshmen, carried through the athletic and other student interests, and came to a climax in the House Plan, which Edward S. Harkness, '97, has just made possible.

Yale, on the other hand, reached the peak of its form last Saturday, and will not be hurt so much it this week's practice is slowed up by rain...

Chairman Hawley explained that, when the base rates on raw materials were revised upwards, it was necessary to give a higher "compensatory" rate to manufacturers using the raw material in their production to keep the proper balance of protection. The rate on high-grade raw wool was jacked up from 31¢ per Ib. to 34¢ with corresponding increases on finished woollen articles running through the whole schedule. These increases to manufacturers made the farmer rage, since they tended to continue the existing tariff disparity between Husbandry and Industry...
