...Doubtless as a compliment to the dove of peace, the book is written chiefly in pidgin English. . . . If a Channel fog wrote history, it would have much the same attitude to time and the sequence of events as Mr. Hoover and Mr. Gibson . . . but a Channel fog would presumably be less biased...

...Voyetekhov's book are several previously unreported facts, such as that a body of the defenders on the south fought their way past Balaclava and into the Crimean hills to join the partisans; that the last handful of defenders on the north dove into the sea and swam toward death when their ammunition was gone; that ruined Sevastopol had a quisling named Vasily Nikitin, appointed "Burgomaster" by the Germans. It is more illuminating to know that Voyetekhov found "No pasarán," the motto of Madrid, scrawled on a wall in Sevastopol; that "Snakes!" is an exclamation of Russian...

There's an old story for that: the lecturer got so darn sick of the plodding, noting, reactionless class that he dove off into a fantastic peroration. His class ended with fancy flying far from fact in a completely imaginative vein. And the Radcliffe students calmly took down every word. But, as Miss Comstock points out, Radcliffe need not worry about its academic reputation, despite the girl who wondered to her professor...

...industrial education. It is one of the foremost attempts of any kind, however, on the part of an educational institution to create a well informed labor group. Highly praiseworthy for this reason, the program is a great stride along the path that must be followed if the white dove is ever to be seen flying over industry. Realistically aware of conditions that exist, Dean Donald K. David of the Business School said that a primary consideration in the post-war period must be the creation of an educated and enlightened management and labor group, in order that the nation...
