...Among other big Eastern women's colleges, Wellesley has always had women presidents, Bryn Mawr switched to them in 1893, Radcliffe has alternated. Mount Holyoke, after ten madam presidents, chose Roswell Gray Ham in 1937; Vassar got its first woman president in Sarah Gibson Blanding...
...primary syphilis and gonorrhea could be cured simultaneously in three days with only one injection (45? worth of penicillin), it would be big medical news indeed. It was reported last week that such good news is not an impossible hope. Dr. R. C.

Most of the big brushes of French painting-Matisse, Braque, Rouault and Dufy-were not competing. Partly to avoid discouraging lesser-knowns, they had not been invited.

Kung and nephew of Madame Chiang, was accused...
Where the average big league club had taken a few score ballplayers to camp this month, Rickey had assembled more than 200-from Dodger Captain Pee Wee Reese down to raw bushers* trying to make the grade in the Dodger farm system at such places as Mobile, Ala., Ponca City, Okla. and Cairo, Ill. It took organization to keep that many players throwing, batting and listening to the oldtimers. Rickey had it all worked...
