Leverett House went over its goal Thursday night, and added $290 yesterday, for a total of $2900. This figure is 116 per cent of the House's quota. Greenacre commended Peter H. Darrow '64, captain in Leverett, for an outstanding job; among other things, Darrow turned up two $100 donations...
Sophomores found little alarming in Professor Pitirim Sorokin's warning that modern war is 2000 times worse than the medieval version.
