...Ellenstein, with two broken legs, the other a Cleve-lander named Challinor, whose ankles were shattered. Miss Granger ministered to them as best she could until State troopers arrived.

She thought she had been able to pull the Newark Mayor's wife and Challinor from the cabin before the heat drove her off. Then she floundered through the snowy underbrush until she came upon a muddy road...

The British Admiralty naturally has always been strongest in these contests, the Royal Air Force has shot up recently to second place in "drag" and the Army makes a poor...
President Conant has mapped out a rosy future for Harvard in general and his own regime in particular. By means of national scholarships the hand of Harvard is going to reach out across the United States and pull out the plums of the American intellect. As a concrete example of progress toward this end, next year these scholarships are to be extended to ten states, where six are now on the program...
