Confronted with the growing problems the University greeted Allston Burr's bequest with open arms. Already, in little over a year and a half, the Allston Burr Tutors have helped, on several levels, to recreate the intimacy which was the aim of the whole tutorial plan. For the poor student, or the man with a problem, their help is most easily seen. Instead of taking his difficulty to University Hall and any available assistant dean, a man now sees only his Burr Tutor. The tutor in turn can come to know every member of his House through un-official...
...Their aim is to give Chicago something bigger and better than New York's 12-acre Rockefeller Center (cost: $125 million) and Pittsburgh's 59-acre Golden Triangle (upwards of $50 million).

But Shaffer grounded his confidence on German hard work, and the unstinting drive to extend German markets and German influence around the world. The importance attached to the campaign was dramatized last week by the two biggest men in the Bonn government...
...sport has spread, from the Mediterranean, where it started, as far south as Latin America and the coral shoals of Australia's Great Barrier Reef. Alone, in pairs, or as members of spearfishing clubs (there are close to 100 in the U.S. today), skin divers take goggle-eyed aim at everything with fins. Last year a three-man team of Florida Association champions met a Pacific Coast team for the national championship. The Pacific team won, with 134 Ibs. of fish skewered in four hours...
