Early next morning the Enterprise was warped into a pier at Haifa, Palestine. A gangplank was run ashore and perspiring British sailors began unloading the personal treasure of Ethiopia's fugitive Emperor: six automobiles, ten tons of trunks, boxes, bales and other personal baggage, a pet python, 100 steel-bound cases containing coins and bullion. Only a pistol shot away lay the Italian steamer Carnaro loaded with pilgrims for the Holy Land...
Last week U. S. Citizen Simonds radioed ahead to Manila for an armed guard to meet him and his wife at the pier. When the Reliance docked, he went ashore behind four policemen to protest to U. S.

Roland was originally a little smaller (three tons) than Goliath. For years he has been wasting slowly away. Lately he had begun to lose 10 lb. a day and to turn...

Yet its fame rests more upon the hockey players it sends to Harvard, Yale and Princeton than upon its scholarship. Its academic aim has been stated by Arthur Stanwood Pier, its official historian, as "teaching boys to think like other people."* Over this rugged, if not particularly intellectual, school presides as rector and headmaster the Rev.
