Everyone was aware by last week that the U. S. had had a freakish winter. Easterners had warm, muggy weather with almost no snow. The greatest floods on record poured down the Ohio and Mississippi valleys. California orange-growers were hit by a cold snap such as they had not known for years. Dr. Krick bobbed up with a pat explanation for these phenomena. This 31-year-old meteorologist, who was a stockbroker's assistant and once a piano accompanist, predicted last September that Southern California was in for a cold, wet winter. He believes that, although the boundaries...

Or will it be repaired and will the three be joined again as the triumvirate of English poetry searching for "new country" of political and social experiment as well as of literary discipleship to masters like G. M. Hopkins, Yeats, and Eliot...
...than its projectors had expected, attracting some three hundred men. There are inevitably flaws in a new course, but Music 1 has been improving as it went along, and most of those taking it are decidedly pleased with their investment. There are probably many who thought they smelled a snap, and have since been chagrinned by demands that they learn something. But for every snap-hunter who will shun the course next year, there will surely be at least one man attracted to it by its proven merit. Thus the enrollment might be expected to hold...
