BALDWIN'S PIPE.
UNDERGRADUATES' JOKE. (BRITISH OFFICIAL WIRELESS.) RUGBY, October 21. The Rt. Hon. Stanley Baldwin opened the new biological building of the Birmingham University, -which conferred upon him the honorary degree of Doctor of Laws. i He had an enthusiastic reception. At the conclusion of proceedings the Prime Minister, who is noted for his devotion to the pipe as a medium for smoking, was presented by a deputation of undergraduates with a huge cherrywood pipe, which he promptly shouldered as though it were an axe. He was afterwards driven off in triumph in a chariot drawn by students.
