Impatience with the Senate last week had finally risen to a clamor. Columnists, editorial writers, radiorators volleyed & thundered. The isolationists were cursed with bell, book and candle; Administration leaders were wigged and trimmed for their fumbling delay; cartoonists kept a brush in brine for the isolationist leader, Montana's Burton K. Wheeler...
...Banting was invited by a U. S. university to deliver a two-hour discourse on diabetes. "Hell," he observed, "for all I know about diabetes 15 minutes would be enough." He had known even less than that about it the October night in 1920 when he sat down to brush up for a lecture to students next day. He knew, of course, that a gland called the pancreas is involved.

The rest merely make a hobby of the brush, but feel that something comparable to the Glee Club is needed to supplement the lecture hall. An attempt to organize a water-color club a few years ago didn't get very far, but Winthrop's successful exhibit of her own artists' work suggested a better way to exchange ideas. The students who have hung up canvasses are hoping...
