...University of Michigan in the class of 1923, although he caused more real anxiety among Michigan's faculty than any man who ever lived in Ann Arbor. He used to work on the Michigan Daily and his editorials tearing down administrative and personal actions on the campus were nothing short of libel. He got a job with the Detroit News, then the Detroit Times, and the Morning Telegraph (New York), and ended up on the A. P. news staff. In 1927 he founded Plain Talk after having written a successful novel called Backfurrow...
...into a hall where they settled themselves noisily. ... In Paris a lonely student racked his brain, gazed vacantly from the Salle des Conferences in the American University Union at scuttling trotteurs and lazy cafe-sitters in the Boulevard St. Germain. ...

Huddle (Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer) contains precisely the amount of theatricals that a college cinema apparently needs in order to exist. But it contains no cinematic collegiates.

Downstairs also...
...campus of St. John's College, Annapolis, stands a tulip poplar which some say is 600 years old. In its shade the white colonists made a treaty in 1652 with the Susquehannock Indians. Alumnus Francis Scott Key ("The Star-Spangled Banner") grew nostalgic beneath it in 1806 when he was trying to raise money for St. John's. Here in 1824 the old, fat, crippled Marquis de Lafayette reviewed local troops. Under this venerable poplar are held St. John's commencements every June. Last week it was the scene of the inauguration of St. John...
