...this year, with seasoned veterans hitting their prewar stride, Coach Mikkola's team may give the man who letters in the new records a busy season. Without crawling too far out on the limb, it is safe to say that records in the hammer, shot, discus, pole-vault, and hurdles will all be in serious jeopardy as soon as official competition gets under...
...content and make-up the 1947-48 catalogue of courses improves markedly upon its immediate predecessor. So far as the fall and spring terms go, the catalogue has grown in thickness and quality back to 1940 dimensions.

Besides, there will be no return to the prewar educational flow in and out of colleges. Soon the veterans' kid brothers will be wanting to go to college, and the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, at the present time prepared to do away with its emergency measures, must meet its future responsibilities by expanding its retarded facilities for State education...
