Camouflaging her nostalgia behind a five-paragraph facade of labored derision--"the Harvard man is stooped, bespectacled, and loathes football"-- SCAN's own Mary Latson finally reveals her true sentiments with a jealous blast at Radcliffe monopoly. "Where there's Harvard, there's ALWAYS Radcliffe," she wails...
...Gaus looks out on the panorama of men living with one another through deep brown eyes backed by a mind that is a compound of the soft-boiled romantic and the methodical social scientist. One moment his fancy turns to roaming Chicago's like front and standing back to scan story-packed skyline. The next he is advising a governmental agency on nuances of procedural policy. Here lies perhaps the key portion of his career. In his years at Madison he guided the Wisconsin Executive Council through its pioneer efforts to relieve the excessive burden on the legislature by drawing...

After 44 years at sea he still acts like a man from...
...marked difficulties with the language but despite dialectical handicap he cuts through with ease if something is really on his mind. Passers-by do a double-take when they see him in animated conversation with such figures as Pound, Morize, or Copeland. During spare minutes he likes to scan his stock of magazines. Indeed, only an overriding sense of nationality, ranks in his makeup with this semiliterate but deadly earnest intellectual streak. A leader in Hellenic causes, he has helped to form the Megalopolitan Club of the United States to raise money for the construction of modern schools...
