When the Canadian schooner I'm Alone, freighted with 2,800 cases of liquor to be smuggled into the U. S., went down 200 miles off the Louisiana shore under U. S. Coast Guard gunfire last fortnight, inter- national law experts were ready to stand up and cheer with delight (TIME, April 1). Here was a case to argue endlessly. It bristled with fine points, with nice distinctions. Many an analogy was drawn between rum-running in 1929 and African slave-running...

I'll bet I could shake off those tacklers...
...students themselves, was a balm strong enough to help the class upon a third road. Since 1922 stained glass and pseudo-Gothic vaults have reverberated once each year to jazz; but Protean student opinion stops changing for a moment, and finally agrees that bare wall expanse deadens good cheer. Back Bay is forbidden--all the better does the Harvard luster of the affair show...
