Undaunted by a brief shower, 250 seniors in cap and gown had queued up in the far corner of the Yard and marched in formal procession to Memorial Church, doffing their hats in the traditional manner as they passed the statue of John Harvard...
...broke the Tiger's back had come from students rather than administration. On the morning of the 1926 game the then-mighty Lampoon published a special issue with a drawing of two pigs wallowing in the mud proclaiming "Come. Brother, let us root for dear old Princeton." And to cap it off, at half-time the Poonies put out a fake CRIMSON headlined "BILL ROPER, PRINCETON COACH, DIES ON FIELD". There was an explanatory drop line: "HRLD BREATH TOO LONG". The ill feeling were pretty generally forgotten by 1934, and the football series sprang up for keeps. Princeton won, incidentally...
...many trials. If plays had weaknesses, the weaknesses were trivial, and nicely balanced by (in 327's favorite phrase) a "general excellence." If reading periods annoyed us, we cancelled them afterwards by sitting on the river bank. The Master was decent, the tutors friendly, and the Senior Tutor, to cap the year's outbreaks of Schwaermerei, showed himself a character in his usual performance as the lewd old man in the Christmas Play.

"With my thumb out, my eyes asleep, my hat turned up an' my head turned on," says Bob Dylan, "I's driftin...
...Novak went off to London and hid from reporters in her own reporter's pad. Hathaway quit. Actor-Scriptwriter Bryan Forbes quit, too. Laurence Harvey, who plays the young Maugham in the transparently autobiographical story, tried unsuccessfully to buy his way out, then went off to St. Jean-Cap-Ferrat to talk it over with the original Maugham. The two got along splendidly, so Harvey returned to Dublin with new faith in his high destiny. The producer hired a new director (Ken Hughes), Novak was coaxed back to Ireland, where she calls up Roddy Mann every other hour. With...
