...cool quiet of his camp on the Rapidan President Hoover took the directorate of Reconstruction Finance Corp. for a week-end talk about Relief. House Democrats had spurned the Hoover program, were in fact on the verge of passing their own bill for a big public works bond issue. The President and his R. F. C. conferees sat all day. Dusk melted into night but the discussion ran on. A little breeze riffled papers and reports on the conference table...

Only terror, causing them to dart and lurk, makes them fun to catch. Puzzled, dejected, perpetually alarmed by trifles, U.

...desultory way for Finals. For them now he has a passing word of advice. It is far better to get away from the vale of tears for a period of three days on end, quite utterly away, with whatever sources of diversion is denied, than to moulder in the cool tombs of Widener or Sever for a few hours each day. For in the latter case the evenings are always spent at Wellesley, if it be Sophomores, with the rationalization that the mind must be cleared. If it be Juniors there are the Pops, or Revere Beach, or the river...
