Times arise, however, when the departments seem to lose interest in the Overseers. Author Walter D. Edmonds '26, a former Overseer, recalls with amusement frustrating attempts to hear several English professors. Warren House sent him to the wrong room, to classes that weren't meeting that day and finally to courses that were having guest lecturers. Edmonds was told a certain professor was in Washington, only to see him an hour later on the steps of Sever. "It is much easier," Edmonds concludes, "if you offer to lecture in place of the professor, since he is then certain...

Says Kindelberger, prophet of the push-button war: "The public has no conception yet of what the guided missile means. The time is coming when the defense of the U.S. will be pretty much automatic...
...mediocrity in Hollywood's current stampede to make Technicolored westerns pegged on the Civil War (see below). Neither good, bad nor indifferent to any standard device of horse opera, the picture makes a feeble stab at novelty by casting Hedy Lamarr and Ray Milland- both with the wrong accents-as a saloon queen and a Confederate ex-colonel...
