...Bryn Mawr's maple-shaded campus last week gathered a clothing worker and a shoe worker from England, an automobile worker from Kansas City, a rubber worker from Akron-65 working girls all told. Their clothes did not come from Fifth Avenue nor their manners from a finishing school, but for seven weeks they will enjoy the luxury of Bryn Mawr's capitalistic dormitories, swimming pool, tennis courts and learning. They are students in the college's Summer School for Women Workers, which last week began its 18th year...

The undergraduate Liberal club, spurred by Socialist Norman Thomas, Princeton '05, collected 600 signatures protesting "the tyranny and intolerance" for which Hague and "his puppet" Governor Moore stand.

What the scientist had done was to conceal a bit of metallic sodium in a piece of paper in his hand. Sodium is so active chemically that it burns on contact with...
...painting for six months, saving up money to buy it, eventually found it hanging in one of the Davies' 13 bathrooms. Last week, if the clerk happened to be in Madison, Wis., he would have searched for it in more public quarters on the University of Wisconsin campus. The gift of Ambassador Davies to his alma mater last year (TIME, May 31, 1937), it formed part of a collection of 122 pre-revolutionary and contemporary paintings and rare 18th to 18th-Century icons taken out of Russia after elaborate negotiations, insured for a reputed...
