Even though his cold hung on, the President got out on the Augusta course for a few more rounds of golf before returning to Washington. He showed that neither cold nor rain nor flu nor bronchitis could stay his hand, sank a 20-ft. putt with the custom putter (a duplicate of Bobby Jones's celebrated "Calamity Jane") that White House correspondents had given him early last month. Buoyed by that shot and, at long last, by the appearance of the sun, Ike finished his vacation in high spirits, and at weeks end flew home...
Morgan Guaranty by the custom services and ingenuity in solving financial problems that have become the firm's trademark. Many businessmen agree that Morgan's service is unexcelled. It will do everything from solving the complex problem of establishing the market values of new shares-even though the companies have no established value-to working out a novel method of financing freight cars or oil tankers. After being turned down by several banks, a group of utilities that wanted to finance an atomic reactor turned to Morgan; in a few days, the bank set up the plan...
...initiative, student responsibility, and the right to individual expression, the Administration assumes an often stifling concern for the welfare and conduct of Penn students. It is highly unlikely that students at any other Ivy League institution received a letter this summer from the president stating, "...it has been my custom to write a letter calling attention to certain qualities which we feel the University may properly expect of its students.

...Dinks" are one symptom of an acute childishness that affects the student body. These inane freshman beanies do not speak well for a University with a public credo of individualism and dignity. Hypocrisy shows forth in different attitudes toward this custom. Dean Peters describes the requirement--all freshmen must wear dinks--as a sort of harmless, inoffensive jest which is not strictly enforced. Yet freshmen will attest to the violence of the rule's administrators, and only brave or foolish men will defy the kangaroo court which orders them to display their dinks and buttons...
...made posters for the Navy football game, and a group of blazered, skimmered Penn humorists trotted out a she-goat with a sign saying, "Betty-Mistress of Bill." Bill, of course, is the justly famed goat. After an unsuccessful attempt at a "freshmen on the field" manuever--an old custom that this year's newcomers have been trying to perpetuate without any notable efficiency--the Penn spectators took up the various Quaker cheers and chants, which freshmen must learn religiously. The entire proceedings resembled the Friday night game back home all too closely...
