Governor Townsend's airedale, an excitable and ambitious dog, chased a 'possum into a corn field and up an apple tree. Undaunted, the airedale jumped up to a crotch in the tree, followed the 'possum out on a limb and leaped to the ground after the 'possum. A little out of wind, the dog scrambled up, chased the 'possum, caught him and brought him back to the Governor...
...major cinema studios remained all week in prospect as 6,000 painters, make-up men & scenic artists and members of eight other crafts, allied in Federated Motion Picture Crafts, continued on strike for union recognition and closed shops (TIME, May 10).

For it is an inescapable fact that all of the Dean's legal training has been in the theoretical side of the law or in administration. As a lawyer in the practical sense, or at least the sense that has been understood for generations, he has had little experience, no matter how high he may rank in the development and teaching of legal thought. Thus, in all fairness to the man and to the University to which he is to give his services...
