It argues liberals fight on two fronts, within the university and in the world, and stresses aware strategy, intra-university programs, and coordinated extra-university efforts to advance social progress.
A student, Barbara Reade, reads Learning How to Sail Made Easy by Pictures in bed while joking about Einstein and skiing. She notes a sailing volume from two sailors, signs read They gave it to me to read in bed, and says she graduates next June.
Readers comment on the Spring Quarterly noting uneven quality with strong comments on Miss Marcial Dorado and Rebecca Price among others. A humorous paragraph jokes about Barnard subway routes and a preference to walk due to confusing transit jargon.

The new French film Crossroads opens at About Town Cinema after Grand Illusion’s six month run. It explores identity and amnesia via Roger de Vetheuil amid libel allegations, but the melodramatic moments and Hollywood finish dampen its impact.
A light entertainment Mystery comedy about missing Shakespearean folio and amateur sleuths with Rosalind Russell and Robert Montgomery. Cast performs smoothly and humor stays sane though final mystery focus is thin.
Critics found Bruno Walter's NBC Symphony debut uneven. The Divertimento and piano concerto lacked Mozartian clarity and warmth, while the G minor Symphony offered stronger moments though tempo lapses remained. Hope remains for improved performance in future concerts.
