Last week excitable youngsters at the University of Michigan believed their campus was the scene of the first U. S. suicide encouraged by Composer Seress' dolorous dirge. After listening to Hal Kemp's orchestra play Gloomy Sunday over the radio, John Granville Williams, 24, moody graduate student in chemistry, hanged himself...
...University of California resentment against compulsory R. 0. T. C. bubbled up embarrassingly while the University was solemnly holding its annual Charter Day Exercises on the Berkeley campus.

Before he had been long in office, famed Experimental Psychologist Knight Dunlap departed after 19 years at Hopkins...

After eight months, most of the strangeness between Baltimore and President Bowman has worn off, and his sincerity and honesty are universally conceded.
