Died. Thomas Lunsford Stokes, 59, Pulitzer prizewinning old-school newsman (motto: "A reporter is half brain, half legs"), University of Georgia Phi Beta Kappa who got his early lessons in journalism on Southern newspapers and the U.P., in political reporting under the late Raymond Clapper in the '205; of a brain tumor; in Washington. As reporter for Scripps-Howard, astute New Dealer Tom Stokes won his 1939 Pulitzer for exposing the role of the New Deal's WPA as a lever in Kentucky Democratic politics, set up as United Features columnist in 1944, was syndicated to 105 newspapers...
...Power & Plutonium. Though G.I.s may at times have been confused (or misled), to old-school Japanese, even the thought of comparing a.geisha to a prostitute is abhorrent.

Others, whose old-school loyalty transcends the raucous revellings of Tigertown, will display their patriotism in the Brother's Field stands as Andover faces Exeter, at Andover. Those Crimeds who plan to indulge in neither of these glorious pursuits most certainly will not put out a Monday CRIMSON...
Respite for a While. Actually, Finchden Manor is not a school in the ordinary sense. It has no board of governors, no blazers or old-school ties, no school hall and no chapel. There are no fixed terms or holidays, and except for bedtime and meals, which the boys cook and serve themselves, there are no fixed hours. For Correspondent Burn, one clue to Finchden lies in the word "respite"−the belief, says G. A. Lyward, "that some young people needed complete respite from lessons as such, in schools as such, so that they could be shepherded back from...
