Oliva Dionne, manly father of the famed quintuplets and-as is apt to be forgotten-of six other children too, said good-by to his famed five who chanted: "Reviens, papa, demain. Demain, sans faute." Three days later he was seeing the sights of New York City, having his first airplane ride. Said he: "For eight or nine years, ever since I first saw airships flying over North Bay, Callander and Corbeil, Ont.-on the lookout for forest fires, you know-I've wanted to fly. It's the biggest thrill of my life, since the birth...
...only is the victim of a prank in such obvious bad taste apt to suffer unjustly, but the reputation of the Hygiene Department for providing accurate, constructive health information to students undergoes unwarranted defamation. It is not an easy job to build up undergraduate confidence in the University's hygiene center, but Dr. Bock has made progress in this direction.

...TIME, Oct. 18, in your discussion of ceramics, you quote Roman Pliny -"Sanctiora auro, certe innocentiora."

Business has been apt to regard Franklin Roosevelt as a malicious ogre who has its fate in his perverse hands. Franklin Roosevelt has appeared to regard Business as a malevolent force, somewhat parallel to original sin, which cannot be wiped out but should be perpetually chastened. In this strange misapprehension, the gravest flaw is obvious: it does not approximate reality. Last week, in the light of glaring...
...America's Oldest College, and, while he is still one of the just-a-big-boy school, he manages to escape the callowness of the Princeton man. The Yale man is a lively, boisterous, generous host, and the most rahrah college man cast of the Alleghenies . . . He is apt to be too clothes conscious, too worshipful of unpicturesque tradition, and too conscientious about his weekends in New York, but his junior prom is the peak of most girls' prom trotting ambitious. from the Dartmouth
