Philadelphia. Yaleman Richardson Dilworth, 61, World War I combat marine who helped run Republican corruption out of Philadelphia back in 1947 and started prodding a dying city back to life, won his second Democratic term by knocking off the most tireless Republican hopeful of the day: Harold Stassen. Dilworth, who had only to rest on his achievements (and the backing of all three Philadelphia newspapers), did not have to take out after Stassen; Harold, 52, did it all by himself. A disappointed presidential and gubernatorial contender in Pennsylvania, the onetime Minnesota boy-wonder Governor could not find a legitimate issue...
Trailing, 23 to 6, at halftime, the varsity caught fire in the second half and nearly pulled the game out. Two plays after the kickoff, fullback Sam Halaby turned in the longest run from scrimmage in the long history of Harvard Stadium--an 84-yard dash, aided by a picture block by Larry Repsher.

Without such "necessities" as elevators, private study-bedrooms, or large plate glass windows, the 27-year-old building holds little appeal. Quincy students consequently do not relish the thought of moving into Mather when this facility officially becomes part of Quincy next fall...
...pieces produced, only the Gay work could be called a novelty but its lukewarm popular reception intimates that such experimentation will be curtailed. This is unfortunate because smaller operatic groups ought to be daring where the large-scale expensive enterprises that the Metropolitan must attempt prove impossible. The second work this season will be Offenbach's well-tried operetta Voyage to the Moon, which was prepared by Miss Caldwell for the Boston Arts Festival in the summer of 1956. One can only hope that the spring offering, yet to be announced, will fulfill this group's responsibility to imaginative repertory...
