...Johnston has a secretary, a small, attractive, dark-haired Mrs. O. O. Hammonds, who sits at a desk outside the gubernatorial sanctum and asks people their business when they come in. Mrs. Hammonds and her husband, a physician whom Mr. Johnston appointed State Health Commissioner, moved into an apartment adjoining the Johnstons' last winter. Later the Johnstons took a house, with the Hammondses on the ground floor. Here, too, Mrs. Hammonds inquires the business of callers...
...CRIMSON regrets deeply to admit that error like a foul, cankerous growth crept unnoticed and uninvited into its editorial sanctum to contaminate, if not totally infect a comment labelled "Let Them See" in the issue of October 14. The exhortation to visual perception was hardly necessary. The H. A.

The CRIMSON spread will begin at 5.30 o'clock, immediately after the afternoon celebration, but, unlike the greater number of other spreads, it will continue until midnight...
Kent has maintained the healthy characteristics of a small school chiefly because of Father Frederick H. Sill, who is headmaster, religious guide, crew coach, pater familias. He is an Episcopalian and so are most of his boys, but he does not proselyte. If the school has a sanctum, it is Father Sill's study with low, slanting roof, often-disturbed shelves of books, a littered desk and several leather chairs. The conversations of this room are the unwritten and authentic chronicle of Kent. Many-times-famed have been the crews of Kent...
