Behind him, in robes of green, brown and scarlet, gravely filed Yale's faculty, bound for the 235th annual commencement exercises of the University. To the families and friends of the graduates in their sombre caps & gowns, the occasion marked some 600 important personal milestones in some 600 young lives...

Dr. James fell ill and Artist Kelly ended by submitting another Jane, this time in a blue 18th Century gown...
...epidemic of German measles is sweeping the University and making the best of friends frightened to converse with each other at less than two yards range. It is also wreaking havoc in the various casts which are assembled for the amateur plays which enliven the end of term. The Provost of King's College's production of Aristophanes' "Frogs" seems to have got under way today without serious depletion, but the grand production of "Julius Caesar," which the Marlowe Society and the A. D. C. are jointly preparing for next week (with your compatriot, Mr. Max Millikan as Cassius...
