...worst defeat yet suffered at Yardling hands, the Brown freshman fell by a score of 17 to 1 three weeks ago at Watson Rink. The freshmen also trounced Northeastern, 10 to 1, and B.U., 8 to 2. In a recent scrimmage against the varsity, the Yardlings put up a hard struggle before bowing, 3 to 2. Of course, the varsity did not go with its first line the entire game, but the closeness of the score is a clear indication of the freshmen's potential...

Examining 165 such cases from their personal files and the records of Massachusetts General Hospital, the doctors starkly document the dangers of unnecessary exposure to irradiation. Items...
Rocky Ground. For each work he spends months in research, more months in building up a mathematically scaled clay model, still more months at the easel or on the scaffold. A minute error can be heartbreaking. In a recent scale model, Benton had painted a birchbark canoe being set on the ground by a group of Indians. "People looking at it would ask right off what kind of damn fool Indians would be dragging a birchbark canoe across rocky ground. That changed the mural's entire design and set me back weeks. I had to do the model...
