...reason why the Harvard Glee Club maintains its quality appeared last night: the Harvard Freshman Glee Club, directed by Truman Bullard. In its concert with the Radcliffe Freshman Choral Society, it displayed the same energy, control, and rich tone that made its Christmas recital so impressive.

Russia was expected once again to allow us a cordon sanitaire.> After Yalta agreements accepted the fact of governments friendly to Russia in Eastern Europe, Byrnes and Bevin initiated and conducted the great drive for free elections there.
