...career on the CRIMSON that the famous case of the scrubwomen occurred. I don't recall the details now, but the central issue was that Harvard was paying a certain group of scrubwomen less than the state minimum wage for women workers. A group of alumni, headed by Corliss Lamont if I recall correctly, took the initiative in publicizing the case and raised a fund to make restitution to the women concerned. I had to write an editorial defining the CRIMSON's stand on this gesture of the alumni group. The theme of the editorial was "a plague on both...

...Romeo and Juliet, an innocent situation is all gummed up by the old folks-the feuding Archers and Pringles. The Archer boy (Scott Elliott), an Air Forces lieutenant, elopes with the Pringle girl (Virginia Welles)-secretly, in deference to the feud. When he ships overseas, his younger sister, Corliss (Shirley Temple), mixes in the intrigue and is spotted sneaking her sister-in-law into the obstetrician's. Shirley quixotically claims the pregnancy for herself and names her moony boyfriend (Jerome Courtland) as the reluctant father. What happens from that point on makes one of the year's fastest...

...Pringles (outraged parents of deb-age Mildred) are feuding with the Archers (proud parents of Lieut. Lenny and Junior Miss Corliss) because Mrs. Archer called Mildred a "tramp." While the pappies get to punching each other's noses, Lenny and Mildred elope, confiding only in Corliss. Lenny goes overseas, Mildred discovers she is to have a baby, and Corliss-who has been seen with Mildred at the doctor's and is sworn "in blood" to secrecy-pretends that the baby is hers. Mr. & Mrs. Archer have a bad time for an act, but the audience has a fine...
