...minutes before 4:30 p. m. one day last week at Newark Airport, United Air Lines' ten-place transport No. 23, bound for Chicago, taxied up to the passenger depot for loading. The passenger list was unusually small. There was a trim young woman who, flushed with excitement, confided in the pilot that she had missed the previous plane and had to be in Reno next morning "to visit her sister." (It turned out that she was to be married next day.) And there was a middle-aged man named Emil Smith, a retired grocer. Mr. Smith caused...
...95th Pursuit Squadron had a short life-February to November 1918-and an exceedingly merry one. Probably no other U. S. flying unit in the War managed to have so good a time along with the business of fighting, in which the 95th performed ably if not as spectacularly as Rickenbacker's 94th. The roster of 95 included many a youthful socialite-Seth Low, Sumner Sewall, John Hambleton, Quentin Roosevelt, Sigourney Thayer.

...total enrollment of the Houses now is 1772 as compared with 1703 in 1932, and 1640 in 1931. The main reason for the great increase during the last year is that Bryant Hall, the new unit of Kirkland House, has been put into use this fall, and houses 40 students. If Bryant Hall were not completed and those now in that hall were put in the other rooms that are available, the Houses would be 99 per cent filled...
