Only one Penn runner managed to complete the five mile, rain-spattered course within the top five finishers. Jim Smith of the Quakers came in 23 seconds after the winning Crimson captain, Don French. Smith beat the varsity's Pete Reider by about two steps. Both Ken Wilson and Ralph Perry followed within 20 seconds, before another Quaker harrier was able to make appearance...
Columbia should not present the Crimson with a serious challenge. The Lions last week lost by a large score to Yale and Dartmouth in a triangular meet. Pennsylvania, however, is an unknown factor in today's race, since it is the Quaker's first meet this year...

He knew all his 450 students by name, and on Campus Day, when students and facultymen don old clothes to work at some campus building project, President White was out there hammering with the rest of them. Though he looked like an undergraduate himself, he managed to give Haverford some of the happiest years of its life. He raised faculty salaries quadrupled scholarships, more than doubled the endowment to $10 million. He served as vice chairman of the American Friends Service Committee, was adviser...
