The Stuaen ' l orMhoP The Quarterli went out of existence when the Undergraduate Council refused to consent to the grandiose plans of Kditor Dave Berganiini for national status for the magazine. I ' nder Marshall Cohen The Quarterli returned to its old form in the spring. The Green Collegians were reorganized and were active around the campus. Small comhina- tions from the Collegians and the Barbary Coast played for numerous fraternity affairs. Dixie- land jazz was the specialty of these groups. The United AVorld f ' ederalists made progress in organizing campus sentiment for intra- globahsm and against internationalism.

Herbert F. Wett fiery torches. It still fulfilled more regular responsibility than any other campus organization, but did so in a less remarkable way than usual. The Aegis attempted to keep from dying at the hands of high costs and low circulation. Copies were put into the hands of a third of the students, The book was becoming more of a chronicle of the year and less a class book. Jocko broke a lance with Col. Mc- Cormick in their aimual parody issue. It bound a fall i.ssue in red and sold it to unsuspecting Harvard dupes as the Lampoon. The magazine was dirtier than ever, occasionally funny.

The Human Rights Society was a new organization with a sizeahle student and faculty membership. It sponsored pubhc discussions on the Xegro question and on anti-Communist laws which tended to forget the individual in serving the super state. Dartmouth House in College Hall had become an institution. Freshmen couldn ' t possess it like upperclassmen and fraternities, but they could sit there before and after Commons and make meals less of a conveyor belt affair. Mrs. Broderick kept the house in order and was the avowed person to come to for answers to the rooming problem. She ran a formal date bureau for the Council on the big weekends and helped hundreds of students find rooms for their dates and parents. The XROTC officers moved into Crosby Hall, proving themselves to be well established. Black and khaki uniforms were in evidence among freshmen and sophomores. For a price of one academic class and a weekly drill they received free tuition. The campus was hardly militaristic, but the naval unit was a small reminder to those scurrying from f)ne classroom to another that there had been a recent war and there could quickly be another. Ernest Hocking, retired Harvard philosophy professor, was a valuable asset to the faculty and community. He taught the largest College course ... on Religion and Civilization. Professor Hocking spoke on freedom of the press at the Phi Beta Kappa diimer. That stodgy organiza- tion continued to hand out, to men with 3.25 averages, gold keys that were a good thing to have.
