...Roosevelt, with more candour than tact, in her recent press conference put her finger right on the ultimate function of such an organization. In expressing the hope that the movement would bring down to earth many false notions concerning patriotism and loyalties, the first lady has expressed the increasingly ardent wish of many Americans.

To manage his roundup, President Valentine engaged Frederick Lawson Hovde, a fellow Rhodes Scholar, who will hold an appointment in the chemistry department, spend most of his time sounding preparatory school masters for material, interviewing scholarship candidates. An ardent pole-vaulter, All-Conference quarterback when he went to University of Minnesota in 1925-29, Frederick Hovde was the third U.
