...examination, one which eliminated course-type questions and gave more play to a student's intellectual independence and imagination--the qualities, we felt, of good honors candidates. Nothing like a "tutor shortage" existed then or now. The twelve losses of last spring were more than replaced by the eighteen new students taken in last week and tutors in some fields are still somewhat under strength. I believe there is no possibility that the examining system initiated last spring will not be continued, or that the examination will not be graded with equal rigor...

Her first two singles-Freddy and Didn't I Love You Enough? are currently being followed by a bouncy number, Eighteen, and a sad-toned ballad Faded Orchid, which might go over with what the industry calls the "girdle...

Non-conformity itself has become indeed, for some, a conscious goal. But Bohemianism has evolved into a true "ism," with its established rules and procedures. And eccentricity, on longer loved for its very absurdity, is occasionally cultivated because, for some, it has become a standard value.
