...belief that rowing on a crew damages the health of the oarsman and that college crew men die regularly at the age of 45 or there-abouts will be considerably jolted by the news that the class of 1883 will put a crew on the river during its fiftieth reunion next week. Word was received yesterday from C. P. Perin '83, captain of that year's crew, that eight members of the class have agreed to row when the members of the class gather in Cambridge...
...tree-girt campus of Swarthmore College near Philadelphia, 150 of the 1,200-odd Rhodes Scholars in the U. S. and Canada would for the first time hold a sizeable reunion. For them, few bottles, no antics. Most of them would bring wives and for those who brought children a nursery had been established. The program was to be scholarly indeed.

As in many good comedies, it is the attenuated tragedy under the surface of Reunion in Vienna that makes its gayety so satisfying. Good shot: the arch duke departing from Frau Lucher's - patterned after Vienna's famed Hotel Sacher - to pursue his mistress to her husband's apartment, with arrogant instructions to the other guests to keep the party alive until...
