...classics have naturally been especially hard hit by the war. In contrast to the 18 courses listed (without brackets) in the 1940-41 catalogue, only three will begin in the spring of 1944. A popular course here is Professor Werner W. Jaeger's Greek 10, "Man and Society in Greek Thought," which considers the main representatives of Greek literature and philosophy from Home to Aristotle...

...Gilberts, are ancient atolls - coral reefs ringing irregularly around blank and limpid lagoons. On the reef, like beads in a necklace, are occasional land masses of coral sand, large enough to support airfields and artillery installations. Hot and waterless, the Marshalls lie under the equatorial sun and dead men begin to stink very promptly. Flat and naked, the Marshall atolls have no natural protection, but how well they are fortified was indicated at Tarawa...
