...other half of the issue contains a verse play, called A Wind of Light, by Jonathan Revere, a Dunster House senior. It describes two shallow, dissolute Italian youths who are transformed into passionate tragic characters in a play they are acting out on a hot summer afternoon. The dialogue, though rough in many places is done with some skill and the illusion of the character transformation is reasonably effective. The vast, pseudo-profound generalizations in the tragedy sequence are not always successful, and a number of Revere's phrases (the title, for instance) though pleasant sounding, and even suggestive, have...
President Pusey noted that the climax of a Harvard education was once a formal course in moral philosophy which constituted the main activity of the Senior year, and was taught by the President of the College. He described this course as "a comprehensive study of human nature, ranging over the whole field of physical, moral, and intellectual philosophy ... it dealt with the individual, the family, and the state; with law and freedom, with practical problems of economics and government, with property rights and slavery, and with questions posed in generation after generation concerning belief ... it never lost sight...

...senior surgeon removed a diseased ovary and appendix. Then he was called out of the theater and turned over the job of closing the wound to an assistant. This man was, as Dr. Kundsin told the American College of Surgeons last week, "a loquacious type." Though he wore the conventional double-thickness, sterilized gauze mask, he breathed heavily through it. The bacteria count in the air increased fivefold. After the operation, Dr. Kundsin took smears from the young resident's nose and throat. The cultures proved him to be a fertile carrier of Staphylococcus aureus-and some strains...
