Dales never committed a miscue en route to humbling the 7,000-yard-long Hickory Ridge course. He parred every hole going out except for the second, where a three-putt cost him a bogey...
UNFORTUNATELY, instead of going back to the drawing board as they ought to, it now appears very likely that the Faculty will approve the Core. Except for a greater emphasis on history (the result of some still mysterious political maneuverings in the Faculty Council last spring by Bernard Bailyn, Winthrop Professor of History), the original task force proposal has come through the grist mill of Faculty committees relatively intact.

In the platinum age of periodicals, roughly from the 1920s to the 1950s, it was possible for man to live by word alone, provided he sold it to a magazine. The Saturday Evening Post, Look, Collier's, LIFE, Woman's Home Companion and Coronet routinely...
