Three winners of the 1965-66 Bowdoin prizes for outstanding undergraduate dissertations in English have been nominated...
...live "discreetly," keep reasonable hours, and continue to do their course work conscientiously under any system of sign-outs. Nor will rules keep girls safe. Cliffies are warned during Orientation Week that the fiends who haunt Garden Street and the Common will indiscriminately, attack any skirted figure on an English bike any time after dark, whether or not she's escorted, whether or not she's signed...

At the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill, English Professor Osborne Bennett ("O.B.")

In Patriotism, a dis graced lieutenant and his wife rapturously relax in a last voluptuous night together-and discover that after such pleasures, hara-kiri hurts even harder...
