...whole, although the returns of the poll must be interpreted with extreme care, the fact that college students in general have no immediate are to grind which might otherwise impart a bias to their innermost convictions should make it more than usually trustworthy. In any case the poll will indicate conclusively whether or not Harvard's traditionally conservative student body leans to the left or right, since, broadly speaking, this is the only issue which can be satisfactorily settled considering the broad scope of the more pertinent of the two questions...
...anchor-leg duel in the sprint medley between Indiana's Charles ("Chuck") Hornbostel and Princeton's William ("Bonny") Bonthron. Hornbostel's team mates gave him an advantage of 4 yd. at the start, but the spectacled Hoosier runner, who looks more like some obscure grind in a chemistry department than a track captain, did not need it. At the finish. Bonthron 6 yd. behind. Next day Indiana also won the one-and two-mile race, tied with Cornell, winner in the ½-mi., shuttle hurdles and 440-yd. events, for first-place college honors...
...soothsayers laying down the law, but rarely have their tables of stone weathered the drizzle of a single generation. Of the modestly minor interpreters of the modern U.

But the grind for a living again gave Bloch the feeling that he was a man without a country. The music he was writing (America, Helvetia) added little to his name. He was desperate when he relinquished valuable manuscripts for the sake of a ten-year endowment from the rich Stern heirs in California...
...than held his own in the forward line against much heavier men. He had learned the game from the English at school in China, where he was born in 1901 in a family which counts 14 generations of ministers, back to 1493. They remember that, without being a "greasy-grind," Charley Woodbridge was always near the head of his class in studies and that without ever being a meddlesome "Christer" he was quietly, sincerely, and it seemed merrily, pious...
