Steaming at a cautious two knots, d'Iberville crept through the approach to the St. Lambert lock. Just astern came the icebreaker Montcalm, and after her four shoebox-shaped canalboats, veterans of the St. Lawrence's old 14-ft. waterways and sentimental favorites to head the procession of Canadian, American and foreign cargo carriers into the seaway...
...enthusiasm and imagination made a great impression on us at Lambeth," said a top British cleric this week. "Archbishop of Canterbury Fisher has been a bit conservative, perhaps, in his approach to TV and other 20th century methods of mass communication. Bayne is from the New World; he is young and wants to grapple in a modern manner with the problems facing the church today. He wants to see that we don't go on plodding along the road we have always been plodding along. There's been a lot of fluttering in the dovecots over Bayne...
There is plenty of spiritual need among U.S. Jews, says Presbyterian Sweazey, chairman of the National Council of Churches' new department on the Christian approach to the Jews.

Beardsley's subject matter is original and imaginative enough, with its grotesque women, debauched men, cavorting gnomes and malevolent dwarfs, but his technical approach to these appears off-hand, and insufficiently inventive. Though no design in this show is incompetent, most lack the power they might have had if Beardsley had been a little more adventurous and a little less facile. Even the fine Ali Baba, the epitome of gourmanderie, bulging with corpulence, could have used a more radical treatment. As it is, one finds it a very excellent, but conventional, treatment of an extremely unconventional subject...
Present sections are noble in principle and inadequate in practice. If there were a nucleus of discussion at the meetings, instead of desultory questions or a third lecture by the section man, actuality might approach potential. One method of stimulating discussion might be effected by requiring concise, one-page papers throughout the term on questions suggested by the week's readings. One of the term's longer papers might be dropped and a requirement of six to eight short expositions substituted. Students could hand these in on weeks when they chose. Exercises like this would eliminate the need...
