Munro has reason to be worried. The Bruins are strong--very strong. In 12 games (all victories except for a 1-1 tie at Penn in their first Ivy game) the men from Rhode Island have scored 42 goals while yielding only 7. In ten games, by comparison, Harvard has tallied 33 times while giving up 17 goals...
NOTHING can better illustrate the collapse of the University as an independent, critical agent in our society than a comparison of the remarks of two observers, separated by one hundred years, on the nature of a university education.

For all its mythic dimensions, the huge superstructure of Ulysses is based largely on a single classic theme. But Finnegan cosmically takes on all history-Critic Frank O'Connor shrewdly accused Joyce the agnostic of egoistically revising...
