...states which permit state banks to have branches. (Twenty-two states now permit branch banking.)

There is no very good reason why individual Harvard students should not contribute to missionary work in spreading any kind of religion they might choose. But that blatant and benighted missionary work should be backed officially by Harvard University is deplorable. Much of the influence of Harvard University is dependent today upon a strict avoidance of religious creeds and prejudices. Its teachers and its students certainly represent...
