...college songsters, however diverse their allegiances, would be unable to render it, "swipes" and all, with never a look at one another, heads tilted back and eyes shut tight for the roaring refrain. Thus, when the Lord Jeffrey Inn was opened with ceremony last week at Amherst, Mass., college men everywhere pricked up their ears, hearing fond echoes in the very name.

President George Daniel Olds of Amherst made a speech. President...

...four summers ago that Jess Sweetser, then a Yale undergraduate, came to fame by winning first the Metropolitan title and then, at Brookline, Mass., the national amateur championship. At Flossmoor, Ill., in 1923, he relinquished his national title to Max Marston of Philadelphia only after 38 holes of amazing competitive golf. Possessed of a slightly unorthodox style, he is more given to "spells" of brilliance or mediocrity than some other golfers, but his courage and resourcefulness are of an extremely high order.
