is what usually happens; people going
to work next morning will marvel at
the speed with which the billowing
tents have been set up in some big
vacant field. All day long they will
talk about going to the circus and, at
night, the grounds will teem with
thousands of circus goers who, for one
evening, put care and worry aside for
an adventure into this strange land of
the Big Top.

10 will not appear until July 24 because of the Excelsior Press being
closed from July 3 - 1 2 for vacation. That puts the next deadline

Eisenhower Guest
General Dwight D. Eisenhower, now
President of Columbia University, was
one of the six men receiving honorary
degrees from Williams College on
June 20. Those spectators who looked
only for the general distinguished him
by his famous smile; otherwise, he was
attired in academic robes which blended
with the others in the procession and
made him, for the day, a college president rather than the renowned general.
He spoke for a short time following the
