Next Tuesday the Stadium exercises of Class Day will in annual fashion remind many that Harvard has found at least one more use for a temple consecrated particularly to the happy warrior. But the bonds that once joined the Stadium with the drama of the open air have been allowed to slacken. Past example has proven its worth as an amphitheater. Acoustic difficulties spring up forthright in the layman's mind: the professional has on at least three occasions found them negligible. The association between the Stadium and the theatre's best in artistic out-of-door production is more...
...Navy became exercised during the week over the apparent Senate blockade of its 16-ship building program.

Last week, however, there was enacted an idyl which served to remind U. S. citizens that their country has not so inaccurately been called a New United Europe. In Louisiana, near the Mississippi's mouth, there remains a section still racially pure and traditionally almost a country within a country, the Bayou Teche country of the French who fled from Grand Pré, Canada, in 1755. They are les Acadiens. Last week, like other distinguished Frenchmen before him, Ambassador Paul Claudel went there. "Vous êtes ici parmi les Français," a serious local dignitary told...
