...Murry floats in a half-world of his own. Most derided, most vilified man of letters in contemporary England, his respectable reputation as a critic has been overshadowed by his notoriety as a candid friend. His enemies cannot forgive him for having been the husband-of the late Katherine Mansfield, the intimate friend of the late D. H. Lawrence, and making literary capital out of both relationships. Much of his recent writing they have found unpleasantly autobiographical; last week they could take a look at his nakedest appearance yet. If an unbiased jury of readers could have been found...
Then he met Katherine Mansfield. She sent a story to Rhythm, he wrote her, they met. They took to each other at first sight. She rented him a room in her apartment, but for a while their relations were purely platonic. When they became lovers they wanted to get married, but for six years her husband would not give her a divorce. Murry felt inferior to Katherine Mansfield, but he did not consider her a genius.

He admits his unpopularity: "There is more than one portrait of myself lurking in the pages of contemporary literature. . . . All alike are hostile: which is significant. . . . The main question among...
...renomination in West Virginia's primary last week was Democratic Senator Matthew Mansfield Neely. West Virginia's other Democratic Senator. 30-year-old Rush Dew Holt, has made many a bitter charge that Senator Neely was using WPA jobs to build up a great political machine (TIME, March 23). To get even with his senior colleague for hogging WPA patronage, Senator Holt backed Ralph M. Hiner, onetime Speaker of the West Virginia House of Delegates, for the nomination. Rush D. Holt won only the moral victory of having told the truth about the strength of the Neely machine...
...Sophomore, Lewis A. McGowan '38, has qualified to play as number four man, turning in cards ranging from 71 to 77. Though McGowan didn't compete for his Freshman team last year, he has been playing spectacular golf. Mansfield Branigan '36 completes the list of veteran players, and will in all probability rank fifth this year...
