A number of law students with such varying backgrounds can contribute far more to the overall broad view of a topic than can an equal number of "well-bred" Liberal Arts students. Dean Griswold's aim would sacrifice this important aspect of legal training...
...second speech, made six weeks ago, was called "Socialist Transformation of Private Industry and Commerce." It still has not been made public, but its tenor can be judged by a sudden spate of propaganda on the evils of free enterprise.

Trades unions . . . maintain and march in separate organizations." Accordingly, the ICC defined its 1887 segregation policy for railroads to "aim at a result most likely to conduce to peace and order and to preserve the self-respect and dignity of citizenship of a common country." Coming up to 1955, the ICC last week quoted the recent rulings of the Supreme Court against segregation on interstate railroad sleeping and dining cars...
