...endowment for its support. Polity is less sensational, farther removed from the meretricious mens Americans which finds its nourishment in such journals as the successful Time and leaves the American Mercury to slide into the quiet tenor of bankruptcy. Perhaps Polity can afford the limitation on popularity which its mild and legal tone must impose. It has, at any rate, begun bravely, and were its book reviews to be elevated to the high level of its featured articles, it would have earned an even clearer title to merit in the rather private field its editors have chosen...
Like a balky bus. the Disarmament Conference moves fitfully. It took a tremendous leap forward last week when diplomats in Rome agreed to a revised version of Benito Mussolini's Four-Power Pact, when U. S. Ambassador-at-Large Norman H. Davis pledged a mild degree of U. S. co-operation in enforcing peace (TIME, May 29). Last week the bus jolted to an abrupt halt. Brakes were applied by French Foreign Minister Joseph Paul-Boncour before even his own Prime Minister realized...
Meanwhile came Adolf Hitler's Reichstag speech and the sharp veering of German policy peacewards. Some 300,000 men massed in the execution field by the great Schlageter cross last week, the greatest single crowd Western Germany has ever seen, but the ceremony was mild as ginger beer.

For the rest, the Hoot is conventional and mild. Two undergraduates have collaborated on a dull catalogue of duller New Haven, and Mr. Charles Seymour writes with pale whimsy on artistry in dining. But it remains for the three reviwers to smother Mac-Leish and Pirandello with truffles of a more spiritual kind. Mr. Winter's long hosauna on Pirandelle...
...coach, brown little John Kenfield who has been going down to Chapel Hill between seasons at the Lake Shore Country Club at Glencoe, Ill. since 1928. That spring the Tar Heels lost two matches. The next year they lost to Princeton. Since then they have lost to no one. Mild and affable in demeanor, North Carolina's Coach Kenfield is a strict disciplinarian. In 1930 he benched his No. i player for breaking training. Before he turned professional, he played well enough to reach the semi-finals of the national clay court championship in 1920. Now nearing...
