...summer long, most U. S. businessmen had foreign troubles. By Oct. 1 they began to hope the heat was off England, began to permit themselves the luxury of domestic worries. But last week their attention was jerked back to a foreign crisis-this one across the Pacific. Businessmen in scores of trades from toys to machine tools wondered how badly their businesses would be hurt. By the time the shock of the headlines had passed, most of them were thinking that they would not be hurt badly...
Harvard is lucky to have a set of neighbors whose ideas correspond with its own, chiefly because their finances permit it. On Monday the new Yale athletic head reaffirmed his school's traditional stand, opposed to professional football whether at Yale or among the Elis' opponents.

...university's ubiquitous silk-hatted trustees, snapped up Willkie buttons from Willkiettes who handed them out in front of Houston Hall, Bicentennial headquarters. Soon a university publicity man hustled out, shooed the Willkiettes away. Conscious of his duties as a host, earnest President Gates meant to permit no discourtesy to the guest of the day: the President of the U. S. He had made short work of a testy complaint by old Mining Magnate William Guggenheim against the "special prominence" to be given Franklin Roosevelt at his alma mater's celebration. Headliner of Harvard's Tercentenary, President...
