Ugly smears of unfavorable publicity seem to be Harvard's inevitable lot as a result of the Browder affair. This time it will be the liberal press to start up aghast at a "suppression of free speech" by the nation's ancient stronghold of academic liberalism.

Cowperthwaite of Far Hills, N. J. Prey of the week-end was not the mere jackrabbit or the lowly cottontail, but the rare European hare (giant of the rabbit family),† which has been known to run twelve miles in one direction before turning to circle home. In the three years that the two packs have hunted this region, bound they like bandersnatches...
