This popularity was not foreseen in 1934, when Everett House--at 53 Garden Street--was first opened to under-graduates. At first, the girls simply got their own dinner, but with the advent of dieticians, Planned Menus, and Balanced Diets, the college thought that breakfast should be provided as well. By the time Edmands was opened in 1937, also on Garden Street, a full-scale organizational program had been instituted...
Tyrone Power plays Eddy with unflagging boyishness, and Kim Novak acts the doomed Marjorie Oelrichs with spectral intimations ("Hold me, Eddy; I'm afraid of the wind . . ."). This blowy motif runs throughout the film: death's advent is always heralded by wind-driven snow, rain or autumn leaves.

Moviegoers may enjoy the rippling piano notes (actually played by Carmen Cavallaro) that made...

When the audience is lacking, as is often the case, the speaker can still take a dry run in public, albeit under controlled conditions...
...Department recognizes the problem, he says, and is making what he feels is a successful effort to combat it. The first aspect of this effort is to lay emphasis on making strong courses out of Astronomy 1a-1b. With the advent this last fall of Natural Sciences 7--Problems of the Earth and Universe, given by Bok and L. Don Leet, professor of Geology--the Astronomy Department has felt free to make Astronomy 1a and 1b more technical courses. This year's approach emphasized a mathematical background which had been unnecessary in the past...
