...Gold Coast" which used to be composed of a row of luxuriously equipped, privately owned Harvard dormitories, occupied by students who had nothing to worry about in the payment of their bills, has now become a straggling group of ugly buildings. The name "Gold Coast" was derived from the profits of the bootlegging industry which was, especially in this territory, on the border line between Cambridge and Somerville, so prosperous...
...criticism and defense, pro and con have come from professors, from busi- ness men, from free-lance writers in Greenwich Village or Stuyvesant Square whose closest connection with a college has been a Row ZZZ seat at the Yale-Maryland game in 1922. The undergraduate press, on its mettle, has oiled its cylinders and turned out bales of stuff.

...photographs show row upon row upon row of white cement workers-homes. The statistics prove that each has a bathroom.

...this last summer tiny boats, smaller than those which first traversed it, have been the most spectacular traffickers upon its wastes. The smallest of all these is the canoe, equipped with oar-locks, sails and a motor, in which Franz Romer started out last March from Lisbon to "row" across the Atlantic to New York. This canoe, the Deutsche Sport, arrived in Saint Thomas a month ago (TIME, Aug. 13) and left Porto Rico two weeks later, bound for Florida. The southeastern skies grew dark and a huge hungry wind came up behind Franz Romer. He has not reached Florida...
