...left the room, while many of the undergraduates stood in the rear of the room, evidently expecting speeches or some other rites to conclude the occasion. Speeches and ceremony of any kind, however, evidently have no part in Professor Coolidge's plans for these gatherings, and so in simple manner the first high table gathering was brought to a conclusion...

We do not need to make a Putsch to gain control of the government. That is not necessary! Control will come to us in a legal manner. That, my friends, is what our enemies fear...
...tabloid, last week began a daily feature by wisecracking Nightclub Hostess Mary Louise Cecilia ("Texas") Guinan.- Headed "Texas Guinan Says" the article is typographically arranged much like "Calvin Coolidge Says" which serious newspapers buy from McClure Newspaper Syndicate.

Last week at Boiling Field (Washington, D. C.) was flown a ship nearly approaching the ideal, an Army experimental observation plane built by Anthony Herman Gerhard Fokker. Twin Curtiss Conqueror engines, 600 h. p. with small chemical-cooled radiators, are mounted inside the single thick tapered wing on either side the fuselage. In flight the landing gear can be retracted into the belly of the fuselage, like a bird...
