...Ramparts We Watch," first full-length motion picture of the Luceditors, has been accused of beating the tom-tom loud and long for the war-dance of the interventionists. Actually the film's account of our entrance into World War I is remarkably accurate and unimpassioned, considering Yaleman Luce's personal and impassioned declaration of war on Chancellor Hitler. As a document of social history, the picture can be interpreted as a bugle call for War, Glory, and Unity or as the tragedy of a deluded and naive nation which sacrificed its life-blood to create the Treaty of Versailles...
...merits of the nominees were another matter. Along with Chief Justice Hughes, Mr. Stimson ranks as a leading contender among U. S. Elder Statesmen: a Yaleman, Skull and Bonester, Harvard lawyer, understudy of the late, great Elihu Root, he had not only had a lucrative law practice but had found time to be a colonel of artillery in World War I. Although he did not love the President's domestic issues, he approved his foreign policy. became a croquet-playing crony of Secretary Hull.

That all is not what it seems is naturally well known to Lanny's father, Robbie Budd. A Yaleman sleek and capable as a panther, Robbie turns up in sudden glamor from time to time, goes swimming with his son, instructs him in the munitions game, warns him again & again that the coming war will be "for profit."

Said he (at a convention of the American Association for Adult Education in Manhattan): "The moral and spiritual unpreparedness of the country is worse than its unpreparedness in arms. . . . The effect [of these authors' books] has been to immunize the young generation against any attempt in its own country by its own leaders to foment a war by waving moral flags and rhetorical phrases. But they...
...even more remarkable was Rick's performance in the 440 later in the evening. He was timed in 4:52.4, the same as Yaleman Choutean's winning time, so close was he to the Blue Sophomore at the finish rope. The race between the two was one of the closest over witnessed in the Payno Whitney Pool. At no time during the 17 1/2 laps was there more than a foot's difference between their outstretched arms. Cutler managed to maintain an influltesimal lead for the greater part of the race, but after his 16th lap turn, which was slower...
