Swimming (3-0)--Impressive is the word for the swimmer's victory over Williston Academy in December. Behind throughout most of the meet, the team rallied to topple one of the strongest prep school swimming powers. This year's team is good-already former Australian Olympian Neville Hayes has broken the University record in the 200-yard butterfly--but, unfortunately, Princeton and Yale freshman swimmers are also potent and should provide some stiff opposition...
...combination of textual study and stage presentation, such results would be interesting; but surely any formal proposal should be postponed until recognized problems are solved, if they can be.

If such a group were to stage only one play a year, the value of the College qua audience is hardly worth...

...Only the Olympian Don Fabrizio is memorable. Played with strength and restraint by Burt Lancaster, the Prince becomes more and more detached as the aristocrats pander to the now-powerful bourgeoisie and the bourgeoisie pander to the well-bred aristocrats. At the end, as he waits for death, the bewhiskered leopard evokes pathos for the passing of real nobility. But even then, it is only the old story of aristocratic decline, for Visconti has ignored a most central aspect of the novel by observing the Prince only from the outside...
