...perfect day for the other Harvard crews. The freshman heavies crushed Princeton by four lengths and M.I.T. by five, and the J.V.'s rowed to a near three-boat margin over another tame Tiger boat. Once again, the Techmen finished third...
...cause of his race. Speaking at the annual corporate meeting of the N.A.A.C.P., Executive Director Roy Wilkins warned that students demanding separate, all-black departments of study on the nation's campuses are really seeking "what are, patently, Jim Crow schools." Though many black students consider Wilkins a tame, white man's Negro, his argument had a practical ring that was aimed at the moderates.

In 1955 the first major funds were appropriated. From the start, opponents quipped that it would be cheaper to pave the Arkansas than to dam it. Yet the project is now three-fourths completed. Eventually, 17 locks and dams (the biggest named for Kerr) will create a 446-mile skein of lakes running clear down to the Mississippi near Yancopin, Ark., forming a barge channel nine feet deep...
