Most of Osservatore Romano's war news had been printed in a column called Acta Diurna, in which squat, dark, astute Professor Guido Gonella, with a strong pro-Ally slant, digested daily communiques from London, Paris, Berlin.

Other groups like the Student Union of Phillips Brooks, which have partly concerned themselves with education, should enlarge their activities towards this end even further. From the Boylston Chemical Society to the Council of Government Concentrators each has its own slant, each should add its energy is the discussion. With the lively interest of the student body and the mature cooperation of the Faculty, the Committee's report should be in the hands of a sympathetic and forward-looking jury...
