Both undergraduate articles somehow fail to click. "Rome Denied," by Peter Ward Fay '45 combines clever phraseology with a thesis that is neither original nor stimulating, for he holds that Italy's trials during the past seventy years are a reflection of a second-class power striving vainly to reconstruct the grandeur that was Rome.

Instead he wired meekly to Postmaster General Frank Walker saying he "approved" the formal promise of Social Justice that it would go out of business...
...began to land men along the coast, probably about 12,000. From one of the coves a U.S. Navy PT boat whirled out, roaring like an infuriated bull, slashed into the convoy, sent a torpedo fairly into the side of a Jap second-class cruiser. She was sinking when the PT whirled away...
