...Long Island Sound's Larchmont Race Week: Joseph Merrill's Feather, in the International class; Romeyn Ever-dell's Star boat Bolt; Don Peterson's Comet Blue Peter (only boat in the Race Week fleet to take five straight races). Star class's Undertaker-Yachtsman Frank Campbell, too busy to compete in the entire week's races, came to life over the weekend: his Rascal breezed home first in the final day's racing, giving Campbell his tenth straight victory in the weekly Long Island Sound Y.R.A. championship series...
Upon the death of Dean Diederichs of the Cornell University College of Engineering, onetime graduate Athletic Manager Romeyn Berry (now editorialist of The New Yorker) wrote the following: I have worked with Herman Diederichs 20 years. Half the time I would have died for him and the other half I wanted to kill him. He did a thousand kindly acts in my behalf and never gave me a kind word anytime.

...return next spring, the guiding minds of The New Yorker will be Editor Harold Ross, St. Clair McKelway, Wolcott Gibbs and Mrs. White (Katharine Sergeant Angell), who remains in Manhattan as managing editor.

Almost every college has its campus character?a decrepit newsboy, perhaps, or a blowzy charlady, an eccentric professor. Cornell University's character is Romeyn (pronounced Roe-mine) Berry, graduate manager of athletics. Usually taken for granted, he made news at Ithaca last week by losing his most famed possession, a brown tweed hat with a grouse feather in the band. He put a notice in the Cornell Daily Sun: "I value the hat highly and will pay for its return a reward of $10?just twice the cost of the thing. ... No questions asked. ... If the finder...
