...broadening influence of the House Plan can fairly well be termed an educational dream. It is, however, because Engineering School students are Harvard undergraduates as much as the men in the College that their inclusion in the House Plan is not only justifiable but entirely logical. If not bound together with their academic brothers through the classroom, they are the more mutually interested in each other through common participation in athletics and extra-curricular activities. The friendships formed in these phases of university life will be furthered now that all undergraduates are together in House Plan...
...suggestions of employe purchase or operation of the World, Publisher Howard replied, with sympathy but with a finality that surprised many people: "Impossible."

...world's largest annual professional gatherings?15,000 public school superintendents and teachers, members and associates of the Department of Superintendence of the National Education Association?assembled last week in De- troit.

McNinch of Charlotte, now on the Federal Power Commission. Both are esteemed citizens...
Somebody was bound to start fun-poking at the late greatly ballyhooed Byrd Antarctic Expedition. Vaudevillian Fred Allen has already made Manhattan audiences laugh about it in Three's a Crowd, but Bird Life at the Pole is the first full-length parody. The story is supposed to have been told to Mr. Gibbs in a low hurried voice by Commander Christopher Robin, who was sent to the Antarctic as a news stunt by Publisher Herbst. When the expedition's ship, the Lizzie Borden, got to the Panama Canal, she was towed through by a Mr. Burton, swimming...
