...Generally," replied the Vagabond, "and I think this holds true to a surprisingly large extent, others are fond of the Freshmen and anxious for them to do well. The upperclassmen, particularly the Seniors, see in the Freshmen, themselves living over again the first year at Harvard, one of the happiest of their lives. Officers of the University, some of the Faculty, and others, not undergraduates, who love Harvard are likewise anxious for the Freshman to do well. For they know that the entering Class is the most important part of Harvard, that without which this Harvard that they love could...
...season. Superstitious, he believed that the 13th win might be a hard one to add to. A believer in astrology, he regarded the approach of Finsler's Comet with apprehension ("Comets and left-handed pitchers don't go well together"). His mother, of whom he was very fond, lay ill in Rodeo, Calif. Four times he had tried to win his 14th game and failed-twice against Chicago, once against Detroit, once against Philadelphia.

Their guess...
Last week, however, Congressman Bloom's latest project, the celebration of the 150th anniversary of the Constitution -which, since he is fond of appearing in costume, offers him delightful opportunities to appear as an early American patriot -came perilously close to shipwreck. Two years ago he got $10,000 to start his work, last year he got $200,000 more. Last week when he went back for $150,000 more he was very rudely treated. The celebration he has planned begins Sept. 17, the anniversary of the signing of the Constitution. On Dec. 7 comes the anniversary of Delaware...
...library philosopher. Author Blum quotes sparingly from such pioneers of sex thought as Balzac, Rousseau, Stendhal, prefers his own sex data gathered "for years." Liveliest example of data-gathering by M. Blum, who "used to be very fond of following women," is his description of how in two hours before her train, a charming pickup gave him an insight into the "amorous unrest" of young brides. Later he learned she was the wife of an old college friend...
