...neglected function falls under two heads: annual series of lectures given by the University, and lectures given under the auspices of a department. The Charles Eliot Norton Lectures, the eleventh year of which will feature an outstanding Swiss architect, are typical of the former type. Likewise, Archibald MacLeish will read his poetry this week under the Morris Gray poetry fund; the week after, President Baxter of Williams will deliver three lectures for the Committee on the extra-curricular reading of American history...

How did it go? "There is some spot on foreign ..." Vag checked himself. He wouldn't think about that. The hand of death had lain heavily on France, but there were parts it had not touched, parts where there were laughter and bright lights and crowded busses, parts where people danced all through the night and the sky was pink from the neon below...
