...Cambridge to consider the portentous fact that in six years under Head Coach Lloyd Jordan, 56, the Crimson football team has won only 24 games while losing 31 and tying three. Few men in the room knew a crossbuck from an Eliot House chambermaid. Only Associate Dean Robert Blake Watson had had direct contact with the game (as a scrub on the 1936 squad which won 3, lost four). The rest of the committee included four Ph.D.s (a Russian-born chemist plus professors of Greek literature, economics and medieval history.)

Hadrian's Wall. Today an invisible Hadrian's wall still divides British art into a realm of excitable, Celtic imagination that runs from Blake to Bacon on one side and a John Bull love of country, landscape and solid realities concretely rendered on the other. The impact of surrealism unleashed for the late Paul Nash and Graham Sutherland, both admirers of Blake, a freedom of fancy that has led them to the essence and mystery behind the English landscape, just as it inspired Sculptor Moore in his early bone and stone metamorphoses...
