...three courses which the Social Relations Department is introducing will be taught by Philip Gulliver, an expert on Africa, who is visiting for one year. Social Relations 110, "Peoples and Cultures of East Africa," and Soc. Sci. 117, "Political Systems in Primitive Societies" will be treated largely in terms of his first hand experiences in Africa...
...rather silly fashion. Professor M. G. White teaches a very fine course, Phil 186, which appears to cover in one term what we now, as history majors, spread over a two year period. Moreover, our tutors, qualified as they undoubtedly are in their own fields, are not expert in problems of philosophy.

Last year the cars' drum brakes wore out early. Now they were back with the same type, and many an expert expected that they could not last as long as the quick-change disk brakes on the Aston-Martins and the Jags. Lead-footed Peter Collins usually figures to "go like hell and the car be damned," but this time he followed orders to be careful...
