Two Nations To Negotiate With Finland
Stockholm, March 14 Sweden and Norway have agreed to negotiate a defense alliance with Finland and expect to start military and diplomatic negotiations immediately after final ratification of the Russian-Finnish treaty, probably within a week, the foreign office disclosed today.
Sweden will ask Russia to explain why it wants to build a railroad across the Finnish frontier. Norway is like 'to' ask Russia why it wants free passage for goods in transit across the Finish Petsano area.
President Kyocii Kallio of Finland, in a radio address at Helsinki today said that "Finland's army is still ready to protect our work in the future and watch our new frontier."
Sweden is prepared to provide Finland immediately with credits, loans, and public subscription to an estimated 200,000,000 to 300,000,000 Swedish crowns ($47,680,000 to $71,-520,000) for reconstruction it is understood.
It was indicated that part of these contributions would be used for fortifications along Finland's new frontier with Russia.
Journal of Morphology Honors K. U. Graduate
Twenty-eight years of professorship at the University of Pennsylvania is the reason that Vol. 66 of the "Journal of Morphology" is being published in honor of Dr. C. E. McClung, p'92, g'98, professor of biology and president of Beta Beta Beta, national honorary biological fraternity.
Doctor McClung has been managing editor of the Journal since 1920. Volume 66 will appear in three numbers, January, March and May, and will consist primarily of papers written by his former students.
After his graduation in 1898, Doctor McClung received world-wide acclaim in cyto'ogy, a study of cells. During this research work, he served as assistant cytology professor in Chicago University, where he received his doctorate.
In 1920 he returned to this University to head the department of zoology, become dean of the medical school and curator of paleontology. During his 10-year stay here, he had an active interest in athletics—being chairman of the eligibility committee and Kansas representative on the Missouri Valley Conference.
In 1912 he accepted a similar position at the University of Pennsylvania to carry on his cytological work. During the World War he served as chairman of the Division of Biology and Agriculture and at the same time was national president of Sigma Xi, honorary mathematics fraternity.
The name of Doctor McClung is inscribed on a q'aque at the Pennsylvania Women's College as one of the outstanding scientist of the twentieth century.

More Study, Less Fun Is Harvard College Trend
Cambridge, Mass. (U.P.)—After living among Harvard students for more than 10 years, two custodians of dormitories believe the trend in college is "less fun and more studies."
"Take any 100 Harvard men," they say, "and they'll average up better than any other 100 men you can find. They're intelligent, democratic, and they use very little profanity. And that's becoming more true every year."
