...three major points which Mr. Bartley's article raises have been persuasively discussed by other writers. Mr. Morison and Pres. Pusey have ably shown the bases for disagreement concerning the use of Memorial Church. The place of the Church is surely a question about which men may honestly differ. Mr. Bartley has done all a service by laying bare the problem...
...Samuel Eliot Morison '08, then an active member of the faculty, but now Trumbull Professor of American History, Emeritus, led the faculty with 70 different books and pamphlets listed. He was followed by Friedrich, with 41 listings, Harris, with 31 titles, and Jones, MacLeish, and Slichter in that order...
Starting with review by the editor of Atlantic's impressive past, in which the mystical names of James Russell Lowell, Bliss Perry, Ellery Sedgwick, Thomas Bailey Aldrich, and William Dean Howells figure as editors, the issue goes on to new material by past contributors. Frost, Marquand, Hemingway, Thurber, Berenson, Morison, Isak Dinesen, President Conant, Jung, Slichter, Niebuhr, Osbert and Edith Sitwell, Auden, Wilder, McGinley, R. P. Lister, and the late Max Beerbohm march with deserved pomp and circumstance through the table of contents...

The fighting for the southern beaches was a combat lark compared to the close call at Omaha. Naval support was close to perfection, and Morison, who saw service on no fewer than eleven vessels, thinks the South of France invasion was the "nearly faultless" large-scale operation of the entire war. One thing the U.S. fighting sailor will readily acknowledge, whatever his theater: no other fighting arm in World War II has found a historian with the flair...
