...have been a graduate of Wellesley for 50 years, Wellesley's president for 25. In June 1936, she informed her Board of Directors last week, she will also become president emeritus. Wellesley girls of today know "Pres-Penn" as a handsome white-haired lady who glides about town & campus in an ancient electric automobile.

Last week, however, they were thinking less about their plans for future expansion than about charges that they had been taking a low advantage of their fellow students...
...opinion. That the methods whereby he attempted to justify his personal ends at Syracuse and Columbia were promptly exposed and condemned does little credit to Mr. Hearst. It does, however, honor a group of prominent educators who were determined to see no intrusion of Fascistic doctrine on the American campus, and justly protested against this effort to stamp out freedom of thought and expression. Mr. Hearst, apparently, is going to encounter more opposition than he has anticipated...
