Until last week Mayor William Hale ("Big Bill") Thompson of Chicago was so far from his city's battle lines against Crime as to be almost a forgotten figure. For weeks on end last summer he was absent from his City Hall office. He refused to see newsmen. His friends explained that he was a very ill man, more concerned with recovering his health than setting the city to rights. But three weeks ago he returned from a long vacation at Nantucket looking fit again. And last week his name figured large in news of Chicago's crime...
...first period of the encampment is "Yearling Deadbeat." With the first class absent in Virginia, the post and its traditions are in the hands of the new third class for three weeks. During this time work is cut down to a minimum, and the third class enjoys its new Liberty to the utmost.

...introduction of the Turnstile Idea to keep Widener Library intact has finally taken place. The machinery has been installed and Cerberus is at the gate. For Harvard's light-fingered and absent-minded the inscription on the high facade reads: "Lose all hope who enter here." The open season for books is no more. Even should the conscientious objector escape through a back window and, disguised as a bricklayer, lose himself in the traffic of Massachusetts Avenue, the fear of the law would haunt his sleep, the imaginary hand, would forever be reaching for his shoulder...
