...complete beyond question. Not until the conventions of 1881 and 1884 was home rule given to the Transvaal. He went on to show that these conventions were given upon certain specific conditions and that the Transvaal had repeatedly broken these conditions. From these facts there can be but one conclusion, that by its own act, by the failure to keep the conditions of the grants, the Transvaal has sacrificed the protection of these grants. Great Britain is released from the obligations imposed by her conditional promise not to interfere. Then passing to the second justification he pointed out that since...
Weston opened by defining suzerainty as the general right of one nation to interfere in the internal affairs of another nation over which the right exists. In this controversy, the negotiations hinged on suzerainty and not on international law. England refused to accept specific reforms and the question came down to one of franchise.

It has been suggested that the basement of this wing be divided up into offices for the Athletic Association, the CRIMSON, and other student bodies which require permanent offices. There has been some discussion as to the advisability of the CRIMSON occupying any part...
...divided into a large grill room for men who wish to take a light lunch in the building, and two small dining rooms either for students and friends who are visiting Cambridge or for the training tables; the latter have been suggested. A grill room would thus be at one end of a long hall with the billiard room at the other end. The third floor of the wing can be divided into three or four rooms to be used as the House Committee shall determine in the future. One room could be used as a private study; another could...
