...licensed to preach at 15, founded his institution a decade ago in northern Florida, planning it as a college for preserving the Bible and "the oldtime decencies" and still appealing to young people. He began with 132 students, confounded pedagogs who thought he was setting up a Fundamentalist camp-meeting by soon proving that his freshman class averaged eight points better than those in other Florida institutions. At the behest of the Chamber of Commerce of Cleveland (population 9,100), Bob Jones moved his college into an administration hall; auditorium, library, classrooms and dormitories he built with proceeds from preaching...
...labor under a fast-moving group like the C.I.O. is a delicate feast for the fanatic, but labor sympathizers in Harvard should not shirk the responsibility that association with a great university implies. That responsibility is to think as well as act, and head-long flight into the Lewis camp, without seeing to it that the members of the union are to get some democratic check on the leader in Washington, may lead in the course of time to a destruction of those very civil liberties which the Harvard Student Union so ardently and sincerely espouses.

In the liberal camp there is great distrust of the amending process, not because it is sluggish, but because it may turn in the wrong verdict...
...giggling girls began-throwing kisses at the Duke of Windsor and he spent some time blowing kisses back at them with a curious two-finger gesture. There was no scrap of evidence, plenty of rumor that the Princess Royal and Harewood, who was recently appointed an Aide de Camp to new King George, had come to discuss the Duke of Windsor's finances. Bills for debts he contracted as King are being rapidly settled in London, the biggest check being $600,000 to Cartier, but beyond that nothing has been done about the $125,000 per annum which...
