...addition to the belief in the goodness of life, natural equipment of youth, the Class of '39 can add the determination to act on the last precept of Shakespeare's wise old man: "This above all; to thine own self be true . . . ." And it must follow, as class must succeed class, that the nebulous goals of commencement speeches will become meaningful aims for each and that four years at Harvard will be understood to have made for that integration of the individual which education in this time must demand...
...since the Exposition was already playing to small audiences before the Fair opened, it is doubtful that transcontinental competition has hurt San Francisco's show so much as lack of showmanship. To cure that defect the Exposition last week took a promising new managing director to succeed the dethroned Harris Connick (TIME, May 15).

(for Anson) Conger Goodyear, hard-working president since 1929, the Board of Trustees well pleased the person who was not only a founder but a moving spirit of the Museum: Nelson's publicity-hating mother, Abby Aldrich Rockefeller. That the presidency of the Museum...
