...President. He had been defeated; and as he waited for the hearing to begin, it seemed that he might face another and perhaps final defeat if the Republican Party - whose professional politicians were united against the Lend-Lease Bill-rejected his counsel and his leadership. To his rival Robert Taft, the rejection was complete. Willkie, said he, could not speak for the Republican Party...
Thereupon Dr. Cowley started a public feud with Dr. Hutchins. Accusing Dr. Hutchins of excessive "intellectualism," Dr. Cowley expounded a rival philosophy and coined a name for it: "holoism" (i.e., education of "the whole man," not merely his mind). Last week Dr. Cowley's crusade against Hutchinsism bore spectacular fruit. He was offered the presidency of the University of Minnesota, second largest U.

...Barnabymen are usually able to sweep the last few matches. This team is almost as strong in the last three positions as it is in the first three. Sophomore Decker Orr is one of the hardest-hitting players Harvard has had in years and literally whales a rival into submission. Another great second-year man, Sandy Parker, comes next on the list. He is tireless, has a sound game, and only lacks a complete supply of finesse shots before becoming a topnotcher. Dave DeKruif, a Senior, Doug Cochrane, a Junior, and Dudley Palmer, a Sophomore, are all in the thick...
