...himself as a resident of Grinnell, la., which he left 27 years ago after graduating from the college there. A Hopkins from Iowa would be much more available politically in 1940 than a Hopkins from the District of Columbia or New York, but his friends swore that his stated reason for replanting his roots in corn country was the true one: to give his daughter Diana, aged 6, a permanent home, permanent friends.

Now the critics listen to him and compare him to his greatest period and say that it isn't as good. Of course not--but despite occasional of-nights...
...prematurely old, to withdraw completely. The Harvard group may be heterogeneous, and we are proud of it and attempt to become more representative of the U.S., but anyone of us might have fitted into the so called "Joe College" life at Cornell or Pennsylvania, for example. There is no reason why a Harvardian should experience the feeling that within limits, the normal activities of any college are beyond...
