"Names make news." Last week these names made this news:
All in a flurry at sailing for the U. S., Princess Barbara Hutton Mdivani, Woolworth heiress, missed the boat train from London. The farewell party packed her into an automobile, raced the train to Southampton, rushed her up the gangplank of the Europa. The princess had just turned 22. Last fortnight two princes, one duchess, three barons, 13 counts, one lord, and an even 100 others turned up in Paris to help her celebrate her birthday. For the party, which cost $10,000, her polo-loving husband Prince Alexis had virtuous apologies: "We didn't think it fitting to spend too much in these times." For his twinkling wife he had a diamond bracelet. "I hope," said he, "that everyone will now realize we are happily married." Last week Prince Alexis kissed his wife goodby, was off to India and polo. Princess Barbara would reach Manhattan just in time for Thanksgiving dinner with her father. Early next year the Mdivanis expect to see each other in Indo-China.
The University of Chicago adopted as an official song "Flag of Maroon" by Donald Randall Richberg, '01, Director of the National Emergency Council. The song is one of six written by Student Richberg who, no grind, also edited the University of Chicago Weekly, won a Varsity "C" for the mile walk, helped found the Order of the Dragon's Tooth (later Phi Gamma Delta), sang in the Glee Club, led cheers, was graduated with no honors. "Flag of Maroon":
Stand fast, Chicago will win Stand fast, we'll never give in Hold high the flag of Maroon Flag of Maroon, oh, flag of Maroon And we'll fight on, Chicago will win Fight on, we'll never give in Hold high the flag of Maroon As high as the sun at noon.
