...band blared into Bright College Years, drowning out cries of "Yoo-hoo!" and "Look over here!" Newsgathers scurried about the decks and dock, accumulating details of the first world cruise of a floating university. Through the customs, laden with souvenirs ranging from Siamese turtles to Norwegian cheese forks, leaving their cabins cluttered with enough "junk" to fill an international museum, poured the 500-odd floating students with their variously aged traveling companions and faculty...

Not without native guile is Uldine, for she bored the crew of the battleship Pennsylvania with no theological subtleties. "The sailors look so wonderful in their uniforms", she said-and the sins of five hundred middles bowed and bit the dust. What matter if only a paltry three men publicly acknowledged that they were converted by her preaching? What matter if the majority of them were apparently struck dumb before the brilliance...
