...this delicate juncture Ambassador Troyanovsky as never before needed to play the discreet diplomat. There are some things an ambassador simply does not say. Ambassador Troyanovsky said nearly all of them in an address last week to the Society of Old Bolsheviks, Moscow's most select club. The S. O. B. had invited him to submit to questions and give them the low-down on President Roosevelt and the New Deal.

...other prominent members of the faculty. Now even if the play had been poorly done, I would think the CRIMSON would critize it. Certainly enough space is wasted on prosaic reviews of ancient movies at the University.

Every week each "X" writes Managing Editor Charles Colebaugh of Collier's a breezy, detailed memorandum on business, politics, public sentiment in his section. The editors select three or four of the most interesting reports, have them mimeographed by a process which reproduces their exact original form (color of copy paper and typewriter ink, marginal notes, penciled corrections, etc.). To maintain the illusion of inside confidence, the scribbled initials of CC (Colebaugh), B (Editorial Director Thomas Hambly Beck) and WLC (Editor William Ludlow Chenery) appear...

...1880s. They wanted their daughters to be as well prepared as their sons for college. When Founder Brearley died in 1886 they got for headmaster, James G. Croswell, an old-school classicist from Harvard. In 28 years he set a scholarly tone which Brearley has never lost. In the select sisterhood of Manhattan's half-dozen famed private schools for girls it retains a first-rank reputation for scholarship...
