Balance is the word for the Bruins. Their second line, almost as good as the Krauts, has Centre Bill Cowley, at week's end the league's leading scorer (15 goals, 44 assists). Their third line is not to be sneezed at. Neither is Defense Man Dit Clapper, sole remaining star of the Bruins' championship 1929 team, who has a better than even chance to end up the season with the league's Hart (most valuable player) trophy. Only native American on the team is Goalie Frank ("Kid Zero") Brimsek, of Eveleth, Minn...
...picketed their chapel, implored their president: "Hal-Don't leave us for Minnesota." A petition, signed by every one of Hamilton's 432 undergraduates, urged him to stay. So did Hamilton's faculty, its trustees. Last week little Hamilton's big, popular President William Harold Cowley, who the week before had been offered the presidency of University of Minnesota (TIME, Feb. 24), changed his mind about accepting it, jilted the second biggest U.

Like Robert Maynard Hutchins, 42, strapping, six-foot-two Dr. William Harold Cowley, 41, was a precocious youngster in U. S. education. Hutchins, while still a Yale student (Law, '25), was Secretary of the University.

Cowley had a varied career as a newspaperman, personnel consultant and professor of psychology at Ohio State University, at 39 became president of high-ranking little Hamilton College (TIME, June...
Thereupon Dr. Cowley started a public feud with Dr. Hutchins. Accusing Dr. Hutchins of excessive "intellectualism," Dr. Cowley expounded a rival philosophy and coined a name for it: "holoism" (i.e., education of "the whole man," not merely his mind). Last week Dr. Cowley's crusade against Hutchinsism bore spectacular fruit. He was offered the presidency of the University of Minnesota, second largest U. S. university (15,167 full-time students), by unanimous vote of its board of regents. To Hutchins, vocational-minded, unclassical Minnesota is an arch example of what a university should not be. Cowley, delighted with...
...left the Communists so far behind that it all seemed rather funny. Lewis Mumford. whose fellow-traveling consisted largely of letting Communist-front organizations use his name on letterheads, considered this one of "the shames of my life." He also considered Communists "pernicious" -for Mumford, strong language. Malcolm Cowley, writing a book "to clarify my mind," craved only to be left in peace to lick his spiritual wounds...
