Knives & Needles. Frightened sick people in the Ukraine kept on trudging to Comrade Dr. Nelski despite his nickname, "The Slasher." With 600 major operations to his credit up to last week, he reigned as Chief Surgeon of a group of Soviet hospitals at Kiev. Nurses sometimes fainted at the gory gusto of his "carving." But always Comrade Dr. Nelski sewed up his gaping incisions with admirable neatness - as neatly as a cobbler stitching uppers to a sole. Last week a stern Kiev judge sentenced "The Slasher" to six years in jail. He had confessed that his real name is Ivan...
...blow struck after the boxers had touched gloves. It was amazing because it was so quick. Pedley was stretched flat before any of the spectators realized it.

At that time it seemed probable that a group of alumni, headed by one already a generous benefactor of the College, would contribute toward the building of an arena to house an enclosed rink. The plan did not develop in time to build a rink for use during last season. Active agitation for a rink has been carried on in the meantime however, by a group of Dartmouth alumni interested in hockey. The donor...
...Nevertheless, it has some advantage over a monastic kind of education which withdraws from ordinary contact of life a group of boys of similar environment and denies to them real instruction and guidance in such matters as understanding the organization of industry, contact with practical situations in politics, how to meet every kind of human being, how to budget personal time and expenditures, and how to integrate earning capacity with learning...
