Thomson's four years at Yale were mostly spent at the Yale Daily News, which he edited as a senior. "The chairman controlled editorial policy," Thomson said with a smile, "so although most of our members were conservative Republicans, we came out eloquently for Adlai Stevenson...
GETTING many more Senior Faculty members down to the Houses where they could get to know some students might take some of the pressure of writing recommendations off the Masters and Senior Tutors. But since that itself is so difficult a number of more immediate expedients are being discussed. Some Houses get pre-med and even pre-law advisors to help share the paper work burden, others find that men with no function but recommendation-writing have a hard time finding a place in the House.

Promising sophomore Jim Reynolds, whose long triple accounted for one run against Columbia, will start his second game in right field. Bob Dorwart, whose rocky first inning against M.I.T. on Tuesday gave the Engineers an upset victory, will be the probable starter...
