...Dulles. In Bonn, a West German Cabinet minister, while urging more energetic U.S. leadership, added thanks for America's Dulles: "We would rather have a purposeful man than a gambler. The stakes are too great. Dulles is a sober man. He would never go to Munich, as Chamberlain...

...null Palestra was sold out long before the University of Kansas basketball team showed up last week for what promised to be a light workout with St. Joseph's College. For Philadelphia fans it was enough that they would have a chance to see Wilt ("The Stilt") Chamberlain in action. The Negro star, all 7 ft. 2 in. of him, is their boy. This was their first chance, since he left Philadelphia's Overbrook High three years ago to see what The Stilt might have learned since Jayhawk recruiters outbid more than 100 schools and sent...

...that "it was not equipped to teach pure reason"-and wisdom. Jacobsen demanded $2,000 for every year he wasted at the college, plus cancellation of his $1,000 debt, plus $1,000 for the tuition had paid and $16 for legal expenses. Speaking for the college, Dean Lawrence Chamberlain said that wisdom is only "a hoped-for end product of education," and that neither Columbia nor any other institution could teach it.
