...regret to record these matters," Bishop Oxnam said. "But ... we confront a crisis, now worldwide, in which freedom itself is at stake. The Roman Catholic Church does not believe in religious liberty as we understand it. The Communist Party does not believe in civil liberty as we understand it. When either the Roman Catholic Church or the Communist Party, acting upon its belief in these matters, seeks to deny to us either religious or civil liberty, our own freedom is involved, and it is not a part of tolerance to submit to such denials until at last our freedom passes...
...colleagues. Robert Gartside has sacrificed the excitement in his tenor voice for some fine control and smoothness. The former commodity is indispensable, however, in "Every valley shall be exalted," a pretty momentous prediction, after all.

Washington thought George would miss having a vice admiral to order around...
...regret the inaccurate and provocative headline (Bender Threatens Expulsion for Any Yale Game Vandals) which the CRIMSON used on its story about Yale game week-end rules which appeared Tuesday morning. The Dean's Office does not threaten students. It expects Harvard students to behave with a reasonable degree of intelligence and sense of responsibility to their college without being "threatened" like schoolboys, and we are rarley disappointed. We have had no trouble from misguided childish pranks by Harvard students at other colleges for many years and I see no reason to expect such trouble this year...
