...Perhaps I have undertaken too much in my life," the Rev. Dan Poling once said, "and perhaps that fact may shorten my days. I know that, but I have no regrets.

Some four hours before the umpire yells "Batter Up" this afternoon to start the annual Harvard-Yale baseball game, the Rev. Nathan Wood, Paster of the First Baptist Church, Arlington, will deliver the invocation to the Radcliffe graduating Senior Class. An ambitious scribe might well draw an analogy here and point out that with the advent of joint instruction, Radcliffe is finally coming into the big leagues; that Harold L. Ickes is warmed up and will deliver the pitch,--and that the Radcliffe Class of '49 is fielding the largest number of married students in history...
