...chasers," and the "grade-grubbers," while special articles expose the short-comings of the "final" club men and the Phi Beta Kappa. The case of the "final" club men seems even more hopeless. The critic of final club mentality is uncertain whether their low scholastic standing, for which statistical proof is offered, is the consequence of congenital mental inferiority or absorption in social activities or general "indifference." In other articles a tribute is paid to the commercial tutors for their services in keeping the sons of prominent families in college and the plight of the puritanical "sub-deb" is lamented...
Visitors at the Chicago's World's Fair this June will scarcely be able to miss one exhibit in the Hall of Science. Soldiers in Colonial uniforms will guard a case 18 in. square and 3 ft. high. The case will be made of bullet-proof steel. Its top will be made of plunder-proof, non-shatterable glass. It will be bolted to the concrete floor and weighted down with iron.

Council of nine. Proof against embryo dictators, this constitution leaked no power. Only leaks were heavy graft and heavy taxation of private business. The taxes hit Montevideo, Uruguay's only sizeable city and one-quarter of its population. The graft kept the Colorado Party fat. The Colorados pushed through graft-rich social reforms: old age pensions, universal suffrage, government monopolies of industry. Well satisfied were Uruguay's rural million and a half who raise sheep and cattle on its rolling pastures, doze under the trees in front of white plaster estancias...
