	German Chancellors - Bundeskanzler, Reichskanzler of Germany
		During the period of the North German Confederation from 1867 until the German unification in 1871, Bundeskanzler was also the title used by Bismarck.
		In the 1871 German Empire, the Reichskanzler served both as the Kaiser's first minister, and as presiding officer of the Bundesrat, the upper chamber of the Imperial German parliament.
		The new constitution of the 1919 Weimar Republic said that the Reichskanzler was appointed by the Imperial President, but that the parliament had the right to dismiss a chancellor or any of the ministers.

		In the last decades of the German Empire, in imitation of the English system, a few families were ennobled with titles that passed on only to the eldest son, the remainder retaining either their father's former title (which he also still carried) or just untitled nobility.
		Not every German noble family is included, as most often the family concerned must contribute financially to its inclusion, or the family may be too small, poor, or unwilling to warrant repeated updating.
		Both German and Austrian empires ceased to exist after World War I, and the imperial titles have not been carried since the last emperors died (Wilhelm II of Germany in 1941, Karl of Austria in 1922).

	World Almanac for Kids
		Chosen president of Princeton in 1902, Wilson tried to establish a preceptorial system that would provide individual instruction for students and to divide the university into colleges modeled on those at the universities of Oxford and Cambridge in England.
		Wilson left the White House in March 1921, a broken man. In the 1920 election a landslide victory was won by the conservative Republican candidate, Warren G. Harding, who called for a return to “normalcy” and a repudiation of virtually all Wilson’s domestic and foreign politics.
		Of the presidents since the American Civil War, only Franklin D. Roosevelt rivals him in importance in U.S. and world history, and both at home and abroad Roosevelt in most ways took up where Wilson had left off.

	Guide and Index to Lists of Rulers
		One motivation is that history is often not taught anymore in terms of dynasties and rulers, since this is thought (by an academic elite comfortably supported by the taxpayers) to be too elitist and too removed from the life of the people.
		The arrangement of these lists thus follows Bryce's principle of universalist ideology, centering on Rome but extending to similar to ideas outside of the Roman world.

	The 125th Anniversary of the International Review of the Red Cross - A Faithful Record -
		This was the spearhead of the activities conducted by the League, which had a longstanding reputation as being the organization most rapidly on the spot and with the highest performance in the field.
		The concept of the Movement's unity is a complex one: it cannot be merged with the principles of solidarity and universality which underpin it, for it comprises structural, organizational and relational factors in addition to its moral element.
		The stakes were high, since the areas of competence of the ICRC and those of the new League had to be defined while preserving the achievements already made: the National Societies' independence had to be maintained and Red Cross unity preserved.
