AIESEC was initiated at Radcliffe in mid-October by two Yale students. The Student Government passed the resolution for a Radcliffe chapter and gave it a temporary charter until December 15. A permanent charter will probably be granted now that the chapter is well-established. At the present time there are twenty members. The program was termed by Mrs. Lord "an almost completely student-run organization which seeks to promote cultural understanding through practical work experience of students in foreign countries...
...with Luise Vosgerchian as piano soloist. This luminous work, which uses the piano more as a part of the orchestra than does a formal concerto, combines evocations of Spain and its festive music with the muted orchestral transparencies of French Impressionist compositions. The orchestra and its marvellously accomplished soloist gave the work a stunning reading. The rapport between them was evident from the first and, throughout both Mr. Senturia and Miss Vosgerchian brought out DeFallas alteration between Latin passion and delicate poetry with judicious phrasing and well-varied tone coloring...
Teacher Jaeger got the idea after wearying of his family's thriving Jaeger Machine Co. (pumps, hoists, compressors) in Columbus, Ohio. A slight, intense young man, Jaeger had dabbled in engineering at Cornell, majored in education at Ohio State.

...Kong like gimleteyed inspectors general. After morning classes, they visited refugee housing projects, a noodle factory for the needy, several island fishing villages. They showed up at a Hindu wedding, wandered through a Macao gam bling casino, edged to within 100 yds. of Communist China. A U.S. consular official gave them a two-hour briefing; veteran New York Times Correspondent Tillman Durdin conducted a long bull session on Red China. Equally educating were the solitary strolls that many took through teeming Asian slums, a revelation to youngsters whose lives have been confined to comely U.S. suburbs. If education means widening...
...Eindhoven. But hours before their arrival, 25 top Philips scientists and executives slipped away via British destroyers, carrying with them vital secrets that contributed to radar and other wartime developments. Left behind, loyal Philipsmen cheerfully sabotaged what production the R.A.F. did not pulverize. Last week Philips President Frans Otten gave the latest progress report on Philips' amazing comeback. In the first nine months this year, sales of Philips' worldwide empire reached $735,110,000, compared with $636,530,000 in the same period last year, while profits hit an alltime peak of $55,650,000 compared with...
