...this afternoon to start the annual Harvard-Yale baseball game, the Rev. Nathan Wood, Paster of the First Baptist Church, Arlington, will deliver the invocation to the Radcliffe graduating Senior Class. An ambitious scribe might well draw an analogy here and point out that with the advent of joint instruction, Radcliffe is finally coming into the big leagues; that Harold L. Ickes is warmed up and will deliver the pitch,--and that the Radcliffe Class of '49 is fielding the largest number of married students in history...
...morning, the Class of '49 is an unusual one; but it owes its distinction to more than the fact that some 40 percent are being graduated with honors, or that the only summa cum laude is now away on her honeymoon. This is the Class that was nurtured on joint instruction, brought up in classrooms where the woman in the seat on the left was in here proper and rightful place. The Class of '49 was among those officially admitted to the Harvard Classroom, and it developed for its Alma Mater a new place in the sun, a welcome belongingness...
Last week in Manhattan's big new Bop City (TIME, April 25), the fans were giving Mr. B. a reverent greeting in keeping with his shy, devotional manner. The lights went down; a solemn hush spread over the joint. With Charlie Barnet's big brass backing him, Eckstine gave them Somehow, in big, rich tones (he sings open-throated, instead of whispering into a microphone). His version of Ellington's Caravan had the fans hitting the trail (along with more than 1,000,000 record buyers). In his own rubbery phrasing, he stretched Ol' Man River...
Such great telescopes as the 200-incher on Mt. Palomar see only tiny patches of sky. They need a more wide-eyed instrument to tell them where to look. Last week CalTech and the National Geographic Society announced a joint project to map the whole sky in search of interesting objects for big telescopes to study in detail. The society will supply the funds; CalTech, which runs Palomar Observatory, will supply the Schmidt telescope to do the mapping...
...just under 1947's alltime record of 1,364,919,000 bushels. But the actual harvest, which so far had only gone through a few counties in Texas and Oklahoma, was surprisingly turning out anywhere from 30% to 50% smaller than Brannan's estimates (the farmers blamed joint worms, rain and hail for cutting it down). Nevertheless, if the crop proved to be as big as predicted, Brannan is expected to set wheat quotas for next year-first limitation in eight years-to cut down the wheat surplus...
