When his tormentors had had their fill, the Ambassador showed he hadn't been a diplomat 41 years for nothing. Said he disarmingly: "I don't pretend to enjoy this, but shan't we have another?" Reporters and Ambassador made a date for another press conference. Next day those few bigwig reporters who had been invited to the garden party also received bids for their wives, just like other people. At one stroke the Ambassador had undone half the damage done by his U. S.-born wife, and set a standard for press relations which his successor...
...Greta Garbo. She is not even Ann Sheridan. She is just Deanna Durbin, the kind of a girl you would like to have a little later on. But just the same, if you haven't absorbed too much ultra sophistication from the ancient halls of Harvard, you will enjoy "Three Smart Girls Grow Up."

Varsity Athletics, on the other hand, in any sport, are for those who desire to acquire skill through a great deal of practice, training, and personal effort. That there are these two schools of Athletic thought in the college, cannot be denied. To mix them would be ruinous. Cyrns C. Marden...
...racket. Next year, according to assurances from University Hall, there will be a general retreat from certain of Harvard's outstanding liberal practices. There will be reduction of the cuts allowable to each student, more careful records of attendance, pushes on all fronts against the disciplinary freedom which undergraduates enjoy here. The reasons for this lie in the vague belief that tutoring is the result of too much freedom. And on the basis of this vague belief, students are to be rudely stripped of their privileges...
