Antiaircraft gunnery is soundly organized, having within each combat component (of four guns per battery) an effective detection and warning system, based largely on the fact that big planes can nearly always be heard, and in fair weather can be seen, in time to aim the guns.

It must, in any case, seem odd to give the title of bachelor of arts annually to hundreds who are in any way proficient in only...
James Lanigan '39, organizer of the Committee, emphasized its aim as arousing student interest to work for "an intelligent, progressive" Congressman. Eliot is up against the incumbent Congressman, 77-year-old, anti-New Deal Robert Luce...
