...favor of "Romance Day," bringing to the screen Stokowski in "100 Men and a Girl" and Garbo in "Anna Karenina." This idylic couple, last heard from on the Isle of Capri, got widely diverging reactions from the local public. The big Swede left Harvard hearts cold, but the stoical Stokowski received such an overwhelming Radcliffe vote that the Deanna Durbin musical came in by a landslide. On Friday Mr. Deeds and Theodora go their ways, with Gary Cooper, Jean Arthur, Irene Dunne, and Melvyn Douglas making this one of the funniest bills to come to the University in many months...
...blasting criticisms of slipshod predecessors; he was known to the world for his two thin books of verse. A Shropshire Lad and Last Poems. Published 26 years apart, their lucid pessimism and classic simplicity made him one of the most popular, most quotable poets of modern times. A stoical poet who wrote his verse as a bitter antidote to the poison of sentimentality, he put down his own epitaph in the lines...

The gentlemen took the Harvard-Yale football game semiseriously, spoke an elliptical and charming language for which Playwright Barry became famed, were a little disillusioned as to Life but very stoical about...
...history passed the four hundred thousand mark. It is common knowledge that Mussolini is wrestling manfully, though none too successfully, with internal difficulties, of which rising unemployment is but one instance, and that the lira rests on none too firm a foundation. Germany's condition would cause less stoical a man than Hitler to weep. Her trade balance would be justly complimented by being called unfavorable, and her political stability is almost wholly dependent on the extent to which Germans are willing to tighten their belts without resort to revolt. The Saar plebiscite is not yet over...
