...glance. This lack of knowledge about the Council, and this indifference to its proceedings, are founded equally on just and reasonable grounds. During the last year, which may be taken as fairly representative, it has done little, and what it has performed has not been of a nature to attract the attention of the College. It has quashed the protest against the shortening of library hours; it has helped with the appointments to the Freshman smoker committee; and it has arranged the class elections. Of these accomplishments, the first was not revealed to the public, the second was a necessary...
...Some 30 Storm King boys followed him to the new school. Headmaster Shortlidge, now 49, found Tome's celebrated neo-Colonial plant wisely financed, well-staffed but half-empty. Built to accommodate 200 students. Tome had this year only 100. Its $1,500 tuition was too high to attract new boys.

This might be avoided by conducting the course less in the research spirit than is the present English 26. It would need a leader of no ordinary talents, a teacher who stands above the tight world of literary schools and who could cope with a chaos of names. He would have to survey a fairly ordered system...
...Committee heard the remainder of Deal's story: how he swam to a floating gas tank to which three other men were clinging; how they struggled to keep the open spout of the tank above water; how all hands shouted in unison to attract the lookout aboard the tanker Phoebus; how Machinist's Mate Rutan weakened and slipped into the sea and Radioman Copeland held on only to die later, while Deal and Metalsmith Moody S. Erwin were rescued. The Committee heard; but their minds dwelt on those snapping girders-an indication that the mighty Akron had buckled...
