EXCHANGE HUMOR
The haughty Senior girl sniffed
disdainfully as the tiny Freshman
cut in. “And just why did you have
to cut in when I was dancing?” she
inquired nastily.
Tho Freshmau hung his head with
shame. ‘ I‘’m sorry, ma ’am, ’ ’ he said,
“but I’m working my way through
college and I just couldn’t resist the
tive-dollar bill your partner was
waving at me.”

By Sexson E. Humphreys
Rome, Italy—(By Mail) — With
the granting of an honorary degree
to the King of Italy, the University
of Rome began its (>33rd academic
year on Xovember 1.
But what makes this j-ear the most
imiwrtant of any since Boniface
VIII established the university in
1303 was the fact that it had been
moved from its papal seat into a
commodious Fascist university city,
inaugurated by Mussolini, his min-
i.ster of education and the rector the
day before, with thousands of edu
cator’s and excited students looking
on.
In April, 1932, Mussolini commis
sioned the famous architect, Marcel
lo Piacentin;, to draw up plans for a
modern group of buildings to replace
tho old Sapienza palace, beautifully
designed by Michael Angelo — but
not for 12,000 students. In April,
1935, the plans completed, Mussolini
was able to break ground for the
project outside the city wall near the
Pretorian guard-house and the new
ministry of the air.
That it should be finished — 15
largo buildings of stone and brick
covering a plot of 208,100 square
meters — in the face of the war in
East Africa surprised even Musso
lini ’s friends in Rome — but II
Duce had commanded!
The new University City is enter
ed through a wide gateway of six
parallel columns, of the simple slend
er rectangular type that Piacentini
uses so often. In the center of the
great plaza is the Rectory, in which
are also the auditorium and the li
brary. It is of white marble rising
suddenly and severely from a great
tier of steps. Grouped around it
are the rest of the buildings. In
front of the laboratories, facing the
plaza to either side are the schools
of law, political science, letters,
pliilosophy, and mathematics, back
of it the armory and the technical
schools. The school of medicine is in
the next block, the only part of tho
universitj"^ which is not new.
Especially interesting to Ameri
cans because they have not been tyj>-
ical of European universities are the
dormitory and gymnasium. The dorm
itory has all the luxuries that Ameri
cans are accustomed to doing with
out in Europe: hot and cold running
water, adequate electric outlights,
telephones, shower baths, mirrows,
shaving lights, lounges and recrea
tion rooms — but no electric refrig
erators.
Tho gymnasium is a very small
one, judged by standards of tho
American colleges of the Middle
west — hut it is well equipped and
excellently lighted.
The American finds other things
that make him feel homesick — and
there will be 50 Americans in tho
university this ^vinter — for the
murals and stairways keep recalling
Radio City. Indeed one classicist
thinks the murals reminiscent of art
in the New Yorker.
Cyun-curing Turkish leaf tobacco. The
tobacco is strung leaf by leaf and hung
on long racks like you see below.

aromatic Turkish tobaccos

Every year we import thousands of pounds
from Turkey and Greece
The Import Duty alone is 35 cents a pound
—but Turkish tobacco is necessary to a good
cigarette.
The right amount of Turkish tobacco, blended
with our mild, ripe home-grown tobaccos helps
to give Chesterfields more aroma, helps to give
them a more pleasing taste.
