...while Legion delegates were parading down Michigan Avenue last week, and upsetting trucks to get ice for their beer, dropping paper sacks of water out of upper-story windows, happily messing up Chicago's hotels, their working committees worked out a program of which the essence was conservatism, the watchword. "Resell the Legion to the country." Through its committees and on the convention floor, the Legion...
Second Game was unexciting until the sixth inning, which turned into the sort of thing that makes baseball conversation for years to come. Washington led 1-to-0 by reason of "Goose" Goslin's terrific clout into the upper grandstand tier in the third. Except for that, Pitcher Hal Schumacher, 22-year-old graduate of St. Lawrence University, had allowed only one hit in five innings.

Haverford like Swarthmore has long emphasized honors work.

It had yet to prove that passengers, who think nothing of disrobing in a train or at sea, would believe they are safe without clothes in a plane...
Dinny Charwell is keeping a stiff upper lip over her late disastrous love-affair with her Byronic poet (Galsworthy enthusiasts will remember with a shudder that he was also an apostate). This time it is her sister Clare who is in a mess. After 18 months of married life she has come back from Ceylon with the news that her able husband is a sadist. On the boat home young Tony Croom has fallen in love with her. Clare's husband follows her to England, tries to make her come back with him, and when he fails, warns...
