...House Library, with its sleep-provoking overstuffed feather chairs, has always proved to be a popular rendezvous for the men of Winthrop. The collection of books, which has been appreciably enlarged this year, under the direction of Ed Fox '35, the Head Librarian, more than adequately covers the well-known fields of concentration, and is quite competent in many of the lesser known fields.

These two reached an accord ending much of the Italo-Turkish tension which has sprung from Kamal Atatürk's closeness to Stalin.
