...McGaw, a new, enormous, hangar-like structure next to Northwestern's football stadium, was built for indoor sports. At the first plenary session the 4,000-seat public section was packed solid with sweating, shirtsleeved folk, but after the first long address in German (by Dr. Edmund Schlink-see below), the spectators began to melt away...
