...Wallace in his office with Agricultural Adjustment Administrator George Peek stony-faced at his elbow. The Secretary explained that: 1) the production of corn and hogs must be cut because the export of pork had fallen off; 2) the packers would be handed a code which provided the Government access to their books, power to control their margin of profit; 3) the AAA's milk marketing agreements were unsatisfactory and would have to be revised to control dairy production...
...Princeton clashes. This gives the holder an opportunity of seeing Harvard's "New Deal" in basketball under the leadership of Coach Wesley Fesler. For the first time in 26 years, Harvard has joined the Eastern Intercollegiate Basketball League and will play league teams such as Princeton, Columbia and Yale.

Intelligent study, whether in arts or in sciences, demands ready access to great quantities of material not available in English. Beyond this practical consideration is the need to widen the intellectual horizon of the student through a mastery of the thought and expression of another race. More patent, perhaps, and more often questioned is the habit of mental exactness which the study of a foreign syntax develops. The present requirements fulfill all but the last of these needs very imperfectly; the standards of knowledge are not sufficiently advanced to insure...
