When a book is charged out, a light-encoded tape will be pasted in the book. The light pen from the information storage-decoding console will be passed over the tape. The console reads and records the serial number...

I am tempted to let my pen fly off the handle a bit whenever I begin to talk about the Radcliffe Institute. For one thing, not nearly enough people know what kind of resources the Institute has, or even that these facilities are available to the undergraduate community.

...date, more than 60,000 visitors have paid two dollars each for the round-trip boat ride and one-hour guided tour of the pen.

Since then, Wright has abandoned the pencil-and-charcoal effects favored by Mauldin and Herblock. He has developed his own pen-and-ink style, in which faces and forms are distorted past realistic limits. His decisive lines and elongated figures are reminiscent of the technique of British Caricaturist Ronald Searle. Wright's characters, with their ballooning eyeballs, pinprick pupils and ramshackle poses, seem to have stepped out of a Road...
