...aptitude of Professor Murray for this work can too easily dwarf the proportions of any potential successor. Such must not be the case. Fear must not allow the University to fail in gaining the full advantage of such an endowment by provoking an appointment from within. One of the clearest advantages of this professorship is that it brings to Harvard, in succeeding years, men from without whose viewpoint is it similar in intellectual background, different in that it has developed in another atmosphere among other scenes. It will not be impossible to find such men for this position, uniquely difficult...
...Trotsky, Zinoviev, Radek, Sokolnikov, Lashe-vich and Kamenev. The "new triumvirate" are: 1) Joseph Dzhugashvili "Stalin"- political "boss" par excellence, nominally only Secretary General of the Communist Party; 2) Alexei Ivanovitch Rykov, President of the Council of People's Commissars (i. e. "Premier"). 3) B. B. Quibe-schev, successor to the late Felix E. Dzerzhinsky (TIME, Aug. 2) as chairman of the Supreme Economic Council.

...dramatist. The scene was the great dining hall of the steamship Paris, ablaze with lights, aglow with chatter of sporting bigwigs. William Hanford ("Big Bill") Edwards, the Peter Pan of Princeton, was, of course, toastmaster. Down the majestic stairway, slowly into the room came Vincent Richards, star, "logical" successor...
Since last week's 4 to 0 victory over Wesleyan, there has been but one change in the University lineup. K. B. M. Crooks '27 has been moved from the forward line to the left halfback position. His successor in the forward line will not be known until the team comes on the field. N. R. Danielian '28 and Captain W. R. Gherardi '27, each of whom scored two goals in the last encounter, may be expected to present a formidable front to the Springfield team. N. C. Baskell '28 and E. A. Stent '29, both high scorers on their...
