...wanted to go and had earned the right as a friend of the New Deal; Hon. Elise F. Musser, State Senator from Utah because she had worked hard in the campaign; Michael F. Doyle, international lawyer from Philadelphia and Dr. Charles G. Fenwick, professor of political science at Bryn Mawr, because they are Catholics; Dr. Samuel Guy Inman because he is a Protestant. The delegation even has a "special assistant," Mrs. Warren Delano Robbins, svelte widow of the President's cousin who was Minister to Canada. Besides all these there are a working staff from the State Department...
...become for some students merely a place to recuperate during the week from one strenuous round of parties and to plan the next." Yale and Princeton are coyly described as "temptingly near New York," and Harvard men are accused of scattering, presumably on masse, over the entire country. Bryn Mawr, the cathedral of wholesomeness, has girded up its skipants and is carrying the fight to the enemy. The lure of the world, the flesh, and the devil is to be overcome by more pleasing campus activities: these apparently are to consist of a glittering program of "hikes, dances and teas...

A portly, florid Princeton man (1895) who held pastorates in Buffalo and Fort Wayne, Ind. and went to War as a stretcher-bearer, Dr. Master lives affluently on Philadelphia's Main Line, attends the swankest Presbyterian Church, at Bryn Mawr. Conservative in theology, he has never been involved in church fights, has been pleasantly identified with the Pension Board whose assets were $6,000,000 when he joined it. Since then its rolls 'have been enlarged to include every Presbyterian minister over 65, many of them still active pastors...
...burned most of Wellesley to the ground. Undismayed, the president set out to build a vast neo-Gothic plant which now covers the Waban campus with tons of imposing stone. Big (1,500 students) and expensive ($500 tuition), Wellesley thinks of itself as a happy compromise between studious Bryn Mawr and social Smith and Vassar...
