...five seat, is one of the two seniors in the boat, Ben Gifford. Last year, Gifford rowed on the Jayvee 150's and has the distinetion of being the only man in the boat who has stepped up from last year's second boat. Directly behind him is a solid trio of sophomores, holding down the four, three, and two positions...
Lunceford, in the opinion of most musicians, ranks with Red Norvo and Jimmy Dorsey as having one of the best all around bands in the country. His band is deservedly noted for the manner in which they play their tunes--great precision and timing, but still maintaining a solid Kansas City swing.

Carefully chosen, the pictures gave a solid demonstration of Tradition in U. S. art. This Americanism was nothing grandiose: just a persistent modesty, candor and good workmanship. Despite all European influences, U. S. art kept its character through the work of the Colonial portraitists, the obscure artists of the Western settlements, the sketchers who rode with the troops and Indian fighters, the thoroughly capable, salty and serious realism of George Caleb Birmingham, Winslow Homer, Thomas Eakins. Even in Sargent's bravura there was a kind of innocence...
