...disturbs him as much as it does the most faithful graduate. Harvard will always be what it is today to Benny. All the talk about it never being the same after the war is "bunk" to him. Harvard will never change, it can't he says. It's too solid and fine to have to change, even if all the rest of the world does. Benny wants the same Harvard for his son to go to as other sons have had in the past, and the same Harvard he has come to love second only to his family...
...satisfied smile wreathed the jowls of chunky, brick-solid little Congressman Albert Engel of Muskegon, Mich., a passionate and indefatigable private investigator whose only other hobby is bricklaying. In the smile was a hint of what Engel believed: at least part of the trouble at Brewster was what happens when a few greedy men get their hooks in a company...
...Willkie-ish liberal, "Olive," as she is called in South Dakota, measures 5 ft. 10 in stocking feet, weighs a solid 193 lb., wears a size eleven shoe and seems, they say, "even larger than she is." With a peaches-&-cream complexion, a talent for mordant remarks, and a zest for riding the biggest horses available, Olive takes both conservatism and a thirst for reform from her Norse Lutheran heritage.

One alumnus, the late George Horace Lorimer, then editor of the Satevepost, gave $200,000 for a chapel...
...Winthrop House Junior Common Room this evening, at which most of Harvard's active jazz players will congregate to display their talents. I don't know just what procedure will be followed, but probably there will be a small band or two formed, so that each soloist will have solid support during his innings. The entries are not closed yet, and even if you play only a slide whistle, remember that Louis Armstrong has brought a new lease of life even to that unimpressive instrument, so that if you can coax a jazz solo from it, you are welcome...
