They finally found it-a two-story house of rust-colored brick on the border between white and Negro districts in midSt. Louis. The place was 50 years old, but it had a lawn and stood on a quiet, elm-shaded street. They made a down payment, signed a mortgage and moved in one day in October 1945.

A crazed group of students, fresh from a rally, could destroy the thing, or perhaps a facade of red brick might be built around it, making it resemble Memorial Hall as much as possible. At any rate, it is important to keep one's television sets tuned and one's muskets ready. If the structure is viewed with alarm long and hard enough, it may fall down by itself...
