After grace and handshakings President Gannon entered on his duties. With 7,300 students, Fordham has outgrown its grassy 75-acre campus in The Bronx, spilled over into four floors of Manhattan's Woolworth Building. Promptly the new president announced that sprawling Fordham had finished its era of expansion, would concentrate on extracurricular activities to enrich campus life, bring students and faculty closer together. Said he: "Having a big registration is nothing to boast about. We won't add a single student to the rolls during the next six years...
Unknowns- In 1921 Yale turned out with brass bands and welcoming streamers to greet its new President James Rowland Angell. It was a meeting of two unknown quantities. Of the two, Yale was by far the more perplexing. A hectic period of social and spiritual campus unrest, later identified as the Jazz Age, had just begun. And in the teeth of it, the nation's Second School had just undergone a sweeping reorganization at the hands of a committee of faculty and trustees headed by Publisher Henry Johnson Fisher of McCall's and the University's Secretary...
Breeze- "Mr. James Rowland Angell," said the Harvard Alumni Review of sister Yale's new President, ''comes like a breeze from somewhere outside New England." This was only technically true.

...without having acquired a nickname at Yale. Many an undergraduate does not recognize him as he plays on the University golf course. At his Hillhouse Street home he smokes, drinks and entertains sparingly.

Last year a merry undergraduate sat down to chat with her at a fraternity dance, inadvertently dozed off. Into his hatband she inserted her card, slyly inscribed: ''Sorry to find...
Oldest of the East's five famed women's colleges, Mount Holyoke sits comfortably on its ancient campus in small South Hadley, Mass, for the purpose of making 1,000 smart girls from 37 states smarter. Over this establishment for 36 years has presided massive, distinguished Mary Emma Woolley, longtime Friend of Peace. Last year President Woolley, now 73, sent her trustees searching for a successor. That they had been hard pressed to fill "May" Woolley's ample chair was evident last week when, announcing a "clean break with tradition," they chose as Mount Holyoke...
