...There are two outstanding changes which have become apparent at New Haven since the adoption of the college or house plan, which Yale adopted several years ago after observing the success it had met with at Harvard. One is that the intense class spirit that was so prevalent in my day has now almost vanished. No longer are a student's friends confined to his own class, but they are scattered among the upper three classes. In my time one very seldom made close contact with anyone unless he was of the same class. The other outstanding change...

...expect the season's most exciting play. Producer Jed Harris, active on Broadway again after two years of noisily doing nothing, had assembled a good cast, fine sets by Jo Mielziner. For his lead, he had Katharine Hepburn who had left Broadway two years ago after a modest success in The Warrior's Husband.

...Deal was new. More popular than the day he won the Presidency, he had lived up to the brightest expectations of the electorate. But he needed no fresh laurels, could well afford to pass them along to an associate. The secret of the New Deal's success lies in the well-known fact that the time to make sociological hay is when, the economic sun is not shining. But four years of hard times did not soften the U.
