Somewhere in the North Atlantic lay a squadron of British war boats, waiting to pick up the Empress of Britain (in a fine new coat of white) when the Canadian destroyers Skeena and Saguenay escort her out of Halifax late this week. Meantime, Canada's King had three more of his provinces to inspect-New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island, Nova Scotia-and Britain's oldest colony: Newfoundland...
...most of the public Charles Lindbergh did not exist until one May day in 1927 when he was flying the North Atlantic. By the time he set foot again in the U. S. three weeks later the public had not stopped to consider what the son of a radical Congressman from Minnesota, and of a high-school chemistry teacher, was probably like. It had made up its mind that Lindbergh was a sort of automaton of modesty, a creature, boyish and noble, of heroic stature...
Last week a Montmartre-like mob of about 200 gay students gathered in Grant Park, just north of the institute, around a huge clownlike dummy in rompers, silk stockings and a Victorian, plumed hat. Young Daniel Catton Rich, director of the institute, ran over to plead with them to disperse, and so did popular Dean Norman Rice.

Last week, the better to house "community living," the college announced plans for new buildings such...
...Smith (see p. 15). John Rice was fired by Rollins' President Hamilton Holt because he had cried loudly that Rollins, for all its progressive claims, was full of bunk. To start a bunkless college, Rice and his followers went to the place where the word came from-North Carolina's Buncombe County. There, on a mountainside near the village of Black Mountain, they rented for the college year a Y. M. C. A. summer-conference hotel, a huge white-columned building with a magnificent view of the Craggy Mountains across the Swannanoa Valley. First year, Black Mountain...
