Concerning crime, the fat Mayor said, as he relaxed in bedroom slippers and short-sleeved, open-necked sport shirt in his hotel suite: "Sure, we have crime here. We always will have crime. Chicago is just like any other big city. You can get a man's arm broken for so much, a leg for so much, or beaten up for so much.

...play, Paris Bound, a suave gentleman boasts that he once stroked the Vassar crew. He was wrong in more ways than one. Vassar, famed female college though it is, has no crew. In fact, the only U.

There is no use in denying that secondary school students whose favorite pastime is swimming are biased against a university not even represented in the sport. Furthermore, the fifty-yard requirement for Freshmen means a large number of novices to increase the crowding every year. "The pool's living water" is an apt description for three days of the week; and even on the odd afternoons there is now a fairly large number of habitual visitors. The old building...
