...report recommending improvements in certain classroom facilities, such as lighting and ventilation. The Administration complied speedily and well with many of the recommendations. But lest it forget, the Administration should be reminded that not everything has been accomplished: since William James lectured there, the opportunities for lighting in Emerson D have vastly increased, and deserve to be exploited...
...Aussies might then turn professional, but Australia was so deep in first-rank tennis players that it hardly made a difference; next year's wave would be just as devastating. Last week Australia had to be content with a one-man wave and a wavelet-second-seeded Roy Emerson and fifth-seeded Ken Fletcher.

But the American classics, old and new, are there: Emerson, Cooper, Hawthorne, Poe, Thoreau, Whitman, Melville, Henry Adams, Henry James, Mark Twain, O.Henry, Sinclair Lewis, Howells, Fitzgerald-and, should presidential browsers care, Louisa May Alcott's Little Women...
