Although Old Mother Advocate still lingers on, it won't be long now before she makes her appearance with a pair of wings, not the feathery kind that grace Gabriel and his cohorts, nor the horn-leathery ones of the Land of the Eternal Fire, but rather the modern everyday type made famous by Birdman Lindbergh and Flying Post...
...because his father is vice president of Filene's department store in Boston. At Harvard (class of 1930) young Lincoln Kirstein and Edward Warburg, another rich man's son, started a Society for Contemporary Art, exhibited painting, sculpture, photography. As an undergraduate Kirstein founded the magazine Hound & Horn, kept it intellectually alive until 1934 when dancing became his dominant interest.

Jeanneret, 47, better known under his professional name of Le Corbusier, has had more effect than any living man on the development of modern architecture, and has become the patron...
...between the halves are a major feature of the afternoon for the average spectator, and to even the most austere enthusiast the prospect of a game without Wintergreen is dull indeed. From the viewpoint of the team, too, the band is definitely an asset. The blare of a brass horn has the heartening effect of a dozen cheers. Enthusiasm next week is expected to be high; Princeton is obviously one of the major opponents of the season and Coach Harlow's men deserve every encouragement...
