...most probable development is that the Blue line operatives will rise to great defensive heights when the specter of Torbie Macdonald, Charley Spreyer, George Heidon, Fran Lee, and Joe Gardella becomes a reality. The Yale line averages 201 pounds from tackle to tackle, and many of them haven't forgotten how the high-powered Crimson attack stalled and sputtered in the mud of the Yale Bowl last November...
Since the days of the Puritans two factors have caused Harvard to bow theology politely out of the College curriculum. One was the rise of Unitarianism in the early nineteenth century. With the appointment of the liberal Henry Ware as professor of Theology, this denomination came to dominate Harvard teaching. The old-line Trinitarians, feeling that they must train young men in the true faith, broke away from the College proper to form the Andover Seminary.

Thanatopsis. When Kaufman & Connelly hit the limelight with Dulcy in 1921, it was as more than rising young playwrights. They were part of a group which, by virtue of talent, wit and hobnobbing together, was coming to dominate the sophisticated Manhattan scene.

For two weeks, on tour, he had been traveling in wheel chairs, ambulances, on crutches, in the arms of his fellow orchestra musicians...
Drums Along the Mohawk (20th Century-Fox) continues Producer Darryl Francis Zanuck's probings into the rise of U. S. civilization as exemplified by In Old Chicago, Young Mr. Lincoln. The current example is notable chiefly for its running time (one hour and 43 minutes), a non-stop foot race between Henry Fonda and three pursuing Indians apparently down the entire length of Mohawk Valley, and the dogged persistence with which early American settlers plant wheat every spring for the Indians to burn every autumn. Since one burning wheat field looks much like another burning wheat field, this seasonal...
