Last week President Valentine prepared to spend some of Rochester's millions for undergraduates with plenty of personality. He offered 120 students of "definite intellectual promise" a $500 scholarship apiece, enough to cover tuition and residence in the college dormitories. To manage his roundup, President Valentine engaged Frederick Lawson Hovde, a fellow Rhodes Scholar, who will hold an appointment in the chemistry department, spend most of his time sounding preparatory school masters for material, interviewing scholarship candidates. An ardent pole-vaulter, All-Conference quarterback when he went to University of Minnesota in 1925-29, Frederick Hovde was the third...

That the cream of London's daughters of vice should be paying tribute to an ex-Devil's Islander able to enforce his rule by trans-Channel assassination, was downright shocking.

Lynn Overman is the secondary G-man whose murder is the signal for the grand roundup in the deserted factory in which police with machine guns exterminate their enemies. Most sadistic shot: gangsters pushing a dinner pail over Overman's ears before shooting him to death...
...Last Roundup. Fresh surprises cooked by Adolf Hitler were expected to be served when and if Sir John asks this week whether Germany is prepared to return to the League of Nations, sign the Eastern Locarno Pact and adhere to an all-Europe pledge to resist "unprovoked air aggression" (TIME, Feb. 11). The British Foreign Secretary then returns to London, while the Lord Privy Seal speeds on to Moscow, Warsaw, and Prague...
