...years ago. The State Supreme Court had ruled that delegates must be chosen by counties, must sit as a deliberative assembly unbound by the sentiment of the State as reflected in its total popular vote. With no Wet or Dry labels on the ballots, voters were confronted with a maze of names from which they had to pick men who in the preceding campaign had indicated their position on the Repeal question. But most Maine voters had been provided with lists of bona fide Wet or Dry delegates by the conflicting organizations. Result in the 26th State to vote...

Somewhere in the maze of empty offices above the Coop, the Harvard Society for Contemporary Art is exhibiting the works of Harvard and Radcliffe students. The paintings sparsely covering the walls of the Society's two rooms have drawn from the critics rather favorable comment. The few drawings and etchings are of a like caliber, but the works exhibited seem by their small numbers to betoken a lack of talent in the University which is not the case. To the critical artist the exhibition is apparently satisfying, but for the student who has gone to see the works...
