Wells '33, with 89.8 per cent, and W.H. Stein '33, with 89.25 per cent are at Harvard; two, B.B. Priest, with 91.91 per cent, and R.H. Jordan, with 90.15 per cent, went to Yale; and the others, R.H.

The names have long been honorably associated with things Cantabrigian. The announcement of the masters-to-be of the third and fourth Houses will also please Harvard men. Robert B. ("Frisky") Merriman '96, and Edward A. Whitney '17, although of different generations, are both members of the faculty who have long taken an advisory part in undergraduate life outside of their professional interests. Boston Herald
