...Margaret Truman sing with the National Symphony Orchestra. From the presidential box, her father beamed down as she sang Mozart's Dove Sono and Glazunov's La Primavera. She was called back for three encores, sang one-Smilin' Through-directly at her parents. "I wept," said proud Harry Truman unabashedly. "I almost tore up two programs in the excitement...

...greatly colors the life of any student before he comes to Cambridge. This means that no person or persons can accurately gauge the effect of four years at Harvard upon the development of the "whole man," because under the tradition of freedom of which this college is justly proud, those four years can be anything from an orgy of bridge, women and spirits to a protracted eyestrain. It depends upon the individual who can and probably does leave Harvard no more or less a "whole man--potentially or actually--than when he entered. Robert B. Spindle...
