...hasn't fired a shot. He just goes on filling his journal with fatuous, trite, sentimental, philistine, ingenuous, graphic practice notes: about newspaper jobs in Cleveland, San Francisco, Denver, everything from news happenings to a synopsis of his novel (a stupendous family chronicle from Jeremiah I to Jeremiah IV), from election returns to querulous data on his wife's raising the baby on candy, from denunciations of automobiles and airplanes to pompous credos favoring Democracy. Typical of his talent is his alibi for hanging around his Kansas City landlady's daughter: "When a man denies himself...
...this year tutoring has been neglected, but now a new plan has been adopted for utilizing most efficiently the time and personnel which is available. All Sophomores will have bi-weekly conferences in groups of about four. Only men in the first three groups and borderline cases in Group IV will be allowed to go out for honors and Junior and Senior honors candidates will have individual tutoring. Non-honors men will meet in groups of about 25 for discussion. This plan should work out satisfactorily for the better students if some of the better-known men in the department...
Well-established favorite of the 300 pop-eyed entrants was Budweiser IV, descendant of Budweiser I, a 1932 champion now regarded as the Man o' War among leapfrogs because of the long line of winners he has sired.

When the leaping subsided, it was announced that not Budweiser IV but the 1936 winner, Zip, had broken the world...
...Mercury, though there are no announced plans beyond Five Kings, which will be tried out this summer and produced for the Mercury by the Theatre Guild in the fall. Five Kings will be a double-header performance telescoping Shakespeare's chronicle plays: the end of Richard II, Henry IV, Parts I & II, Henry V, Henry VI, Parts I, II, III, and Richard III. Welles will direct the whole enterprise, and play Falstaff. The Theatre Guild will supply part of the backing and the fat pickings of its 60,000 subscription list, but the Mercury will have full artistic control...
...week and of at least five meetings a year, the final goal could well be the turning of advisorial into tutorial work. This is particularly feasible where both adviser and advisee are interested in the same field. Along with the transformation would go the extension of tutorial to Group IV Freshmen, so that as Sophomores the majority of the class might be on the road to honors. Such schemes seem like dreams, but from the value of the reforms already instituted by Dean Leighton they may some day prove realities...
