...Massachusetts Institute of Technology will conduct this summer a special session designed to "provide an orientation in the field of public service for those who plan to apply their professional training in municipal, state, and national government positions." Speaking before the Associated Harvard Clubs at Pittsburgh Saturday, President Conant reported that Harvard has been giving much thought to the responsibilities of universities for training men for government service.

Among artists made jobless by the closing of Manhattan's famed funclub Casino de Paree was Jeanette...
