Six weeks of roadwork, six daily rounds of boxing and a Spartan diet made his muscles swell with awesome health when he clambered into his corner of the ring at the Madison Square Garden bowl in Long Island City. When the bell rang for the first round, he lumbered earnestly out of his corner and pushed his left fist inquisitively into Baer's grinning face...

...chairman of the U. S. Tariff Commission. The conferees plumped for amendments which the real U. S. Senate adopted one week later. The scheme works. Princeton has lately begun to lead the nation in graduates accepted for the U. S. Foreign Service. The State Department's old "Harvard ring" is giving way to a "Princeton ring." Ambassador to Italy Breckinridge Long (1904) and Minister to the Baltic States John Van Antwerp MacMurray (1902) head a list of some 55 Princeton consuls and vice consuls. Senator David Aiken Reed of Pennsylvania (1900), Governor John Gilbert Winant of New Hampshire...
