...last week was offered on behalf of Germany. It envisions an international agreement pledging every nation to make public all details concerning its armaments. Although very unpopular among the Allied Powers, this plan cannot be ignored as offered in "bad faith," because it happens to be only a very slight extension of Article VIII of the Covenant of the League of Nations, which provides that League states must confide to each other all about their armaments, though in practice they never...
...April evening in Manhattan five years ago, a slight, aquiline-featured man returned from a theatre to his room. No sooner had he crossed the threshold than lines of anguish twisted across his face and he fell dead from a heart attack. His death was unforeseen, but many of his friends believed that his health had been gravely impaired during the investigation of alleged construction faults in Nebraska's new $9,000,000 state capitol at Lincoln. That building, the friends claimed, was Architect Goodhue's sovereign design, imbued with all his prowess and pride. To hear...
Coach Mitchell shifted his batting order in the absence of B. H. Bassett '31 who incurred a slight injury in batting practice the day before, starting F. E. Nugent '29 in the leadoff position.

...contest, and made a much better showing. The crews rowed down the course at a 32 stroke-per-minute clip, little hindered by a light head wind, which had less effect than did the cross chop from several launches which had passed over the course. Crew X had a slight lead as the two eights passed under Harvard bridge, but Watts forced his shell ahead to a position almost a length in front of crew X. Swaim retaliated, but was not able to shorten to less than three-quarters of a length, the lead gained by his adversaries...
