...French invitation came from the Department of Public Instruction as a result of the distinction attained by the Glee Club as a choral organization under the leadership of Dr. Archibald T. Davison '06. The Department has offered to contribute 30,000 francs toward the trip and to secure certain reductions in transportation rates.

For this reason it means nothing to ask an Arctic...
...Behn's drawings are, as ever, exceptionally good, and there is a mildly amusing article on the annoying miscellany of "drives," as well as a Biblical distortion that is funny in spots. On the whole the number is a pleasant one, calculated to "tickle the great American public under the great American waistcoat" but not to split its sides...
