...begin to understand until the evening that some Buckinghamshire beech-leaves in a Moscow Road flower-shop smelled like the rustling wood to whose edge she had often come in her autumn imagination. She went at once to live alone at Great Mop in the Chilterns. There, after some months that were not without weirdness, a starved kitten scratched her hand and her own blood sealed her knowledge that she was a witch...
...Harvard with next autumn have the honor of extending its hospitality to the sixth International Congress of Philosophy. Previous Congresses have been held at Paris (1900), Geneva (1904), Heidelberg (1908), Belogna (1911), and Naples (1924).

Hence the Congress next autumn will be not only the first congress of its kind ever held in America, but the first such congress since the War, in which will gather for friendly and helpful...

A bookish, loose-tongued fellow, with poetic ideas and no great respect for conventions, he is willing to make a public stir in the columns of the Crimson, Harvard's live undergraduate daily. Last autumn he supplied a comparison of Yale and Harvard rather flattering to the latter (TIME, Nov. 30). Last week he revisited his old haunts, found out the progress made by an undergraduate Yale committee that was meeting with the administration on the chapel question, and wrote the Crimson a detailed account...
