...which Dr. Bock attributes much of the illness treated by his department. Every attempt has been made to relieve the undergraduate from financial worry, although many of these services are not fully appreciated. In addition to an increasing effort to provide scholarships for deserving students, excellent work has been done by the Placement Bureau and the Student Employment Office in finding jobs for men during and after college, and this service has been supplemented by loans from Lehman Hall when circumstances warranted...
...Rehn Galleries, 24 new paintings by Ceramist-Architect-Painter Henry Yarnum Poor convinced critics that Mr. Poor at 49 had done well to leave his ovens cold and his drafting board dusty.

S. readers the results of his four months' observation of Soviet China, his nine years' experience in the Far East. The first correspondent to get inside Red China's lines, Edgar Snow was also the first to interview its leaders, the first...
American English's editors have done considerable research into the etymology and practice of bundling (partly undressed, unmarried couples occupying the same bed for warmth). Said an early Connecticut historian (1781): "Notwithstanding the great modesty of the females ... it is thought but a piece of civility to ask her to bundle: a custom as old as the first settlement in 1634." Another writer reported: "When a girl, that was old enough to be married, had a suitor who had been a few times to see her, the parents, if they approved of the connection, would-what they called-bundle...
