...author subtitles his book "Studies in Classics of Christian Devotion." But the ground covered in his lectures is far more extensive than a mere theological discussion. Taking as his subject six great literary milestones of Christian thought all the way from Augustine's "Confessions" to the diary of John Woolman, he paints behind each a portrait of the author and a landscape of the times. With sweeping strokes he brings to life the intellectual atmosphere in which each of these great masterpieces was produced, showing the essential huntanity of each work as well as its significance. The startling contrast between...
...with the system was not presented until last Thursday. As it is, the Crimson is right in suggesting that the presentation of the question to the class has been onesided. The publicity in the Crimson has been almost wholly adverse to the retention of the elections. I should have thought that the timing of the referendum favored the opponents of the elections. But the Crimson say, "Byrits timing and by its management, it is calculated to stampede Freshmen into approval of the old system."

Rebel Spain has, in fact, made the refugee problem a bargaining point with the French Government. Furthermore, it is not likely that the dictator is any more eager to have back almost a half-million militant Republicans than they are to return...
...utilitarian named Hubert Hudson sent him into the fertile, feudal Rio Grande Valley to run three newspapers, the Brownsville Herald, Valley Star (at Harlingen) and Monitor (at Me Allen). When he gave nationwide publicity to a King Ranch mystery, the famed Blanton case (TIME, Dec. 7, 1936), South Texas thought Magee would "bust the Valley wide open." But soon he turned to more prosaic crusades in which his backer was interested: stabilization of the $125,000,000 citrus industry, improvement of the water supply. He became a worker for the Methodist Church...
