...Social Service committee primarily is interested in introducing the undergraduate to the Settlement Houses. In these settlement houses there is an opportunity for coaching athletics, dramatics, for teaching music, English and civics to naturalization classes, for leading discussion groups and organizing boys clubs.

Dunne, 67, one of the old-timers on San Francisco's bench, had just opened court with the case of Howe v. Howe, an action to set aside a property settlement on a wife.
