...senior members of the societies, wearing their pins, black ties and blue suits, march through the crowd, tap their men. A tappee hustles (see cut) to his room, followed closely by his tapper, or shakes his head (refusal). Each society picks 15. Tapping usually ends when the Battell Chapel clock strikes 6, but in 1936 Wolf's Head, turned down by 17 tappees, went on tapping long after dark to fill its quota...
Undergraduate Vassar, reported Mrs. Allen, has changed greatly in the last 50 years. Girls no longer have to report to their teachers that they have taken two tub baths a week, nor entertain men in Engaged Parlor ("a kind of goldfish bowl"), nor go to chapel. They are almost a full year younger (17.8), two inches taller (5 ft. 5 in.), eleven pounds heavier (126), bigger around the waist, have nearly twice the lung capacity of the class of 1885. They may have men visitors in their rooms (afternoons), import Yale men for male parts in their plays, leave...
...last week's undergraduate sideshow, a leader of the Democrats, convened in the Fulton courthouse, was Gene Milligan, son of Pendergast-busting U. S. District Attorney Maurice M. Milligan.

Their keynoter was former Missouri Governor Arthur M. Hyde...
...great Best-Seller General Lew Wallace (Ben Hur). Crawfords ville's biggest office building-five stories-is owned by Ben Hur Life Association. The town's prettiest buildings are on the campus of Wabash College. Two or three times a year, one of these buildings, a prim chapel seating 1,100 people, becomes Crawfordsville's concert hall. There last fortnight, Crawfordsville culture glowed at its brightest. In the chapel 650 townsfolk heard the season's second and final concert of the Crawfordsville Symphony Orchestra. Last week the orchestra's managers checked over their books, discovered...
...daily routine of the brothers is strictly regimented. A Latin call awakes them at 5:40, but they are human enough to spend 45 minutes--presumably in bed--before they appear in chapel for the first office. Most of their day is given up to prayer, studies, spiritual reading, and outside calls. Every novice is required to take a weekly one-hour walk in company of a father to whom he is assigned...
