Right is Reader Sutherland. Catholic-born Manuel Quezon retracted Masonry on his 52nd birthday, 1930, aboard the S. S. Empress of Japan, in the presence of Most Rev. Michael J. O'Doherty, Archbishop of Manila. Two years later he demitted (i.e. resigned) from his lodge. -Ed. Man of the Year...
...diplomacy had a less jarring personality than the present Undersecretary of State. Everything that the late Henry James could have hoped for in a U. S. diplomat has been the property of "Billy" Phillips from birth. His family arrived in New England in the person of the Rev. George Phillips in 1630, founded Phillips Andover and Phillips Exeter Academies.

...hockey players it sends to Harvard, Yale and Princeton than upon its scholarship. Its academic aim has been stated by Arthur Stanwood Pier, its official historian, as "teaching boys to think like other people."* Over this rugged, if not particularly intellectual, school presides as rector and headmaster the Rev. Dr. Samuel Smith Drury. Dr. Drury is a tall, stern man with a powerful, sonorous voice. No mixer, he has little contact with the school's 440 boys until they reach the Sixth Form, when he has them in to Sunday tea. Boys call him "The Drip." Once a year...
