...MacDonald has long since mellowed into compromise. Compromise has made him Prime Minister of England, the King's good friend and pet lion of the Marchioness of Londonderry. To the hard-headed Conservatives of the National Government, led in fact by Stanley Baldwin, mellow Scot MacDonald is an ideal figurehead, never more so than now as it faces an oncoming national election. MacDonald, however, is far from well. Over & over the Conservatives have prepared the voters for MacDonald's final fade-out by slipping out rumors that he was about to resign the Prime Ministership to Stanley Baldwin...

Their social calendar includes two invariable annual events. One is the Once-a-Year Poker & Pretzel Club, for which Mr. Sulzberger & friends were obliged to journey to Washington this year...

The ideal is plain enough: to have the adviser a man able to give sound advice concerning courses, living or having offices in easily accessible places for freshmen, and willing and ready to help the student at all times. The logical location for the adviser is in the Yard itself. We therefore recommend...
