Professor Hanfmann's great enthusiasm for a renewed search for the treasures of Sardis was echoed by A. Henry Detweiler, Cornell professor of Architecture, who promised to furnish a contingent from Ithaca, and by the Bollingen Foundation of New York. The financial burden (the first two expeditions cost $60,000, the forthcoming campaign ought to come closer to $50,000) was shared by Harvard and Cornell with the Foundation giving $20,000 each year for three years if the two colleges raised equal or greater sums...

Cornell coach Lefty James apparently likes to win his ball games after the fans have headed towards their cars. His Big Red team eked out a 20-15 win over non-Ivy Colgate three Saturdays ago with 19 seconds left to play.
