...seems to be no real desire to disintegrate the student body in respect to the teaching, which is to be university given rather than house given. Nor, apparently, are the colleges to be self-governing units, each really developing a life independent of the others. What the plan will amount to, it is yet impossible...
...largest contribution, $1000, will be made to the Red Cross. $250 will be given to the Cambridge Council of the Boy Scouts of America, $250 to the Salvation Army, and a like amount to the Near East Relief. The Committee on Friendly Relations among Foreign Students will receive $500, as will the International Student Service for student work in Bulgaria...
Harvard alumni who have attended football games in the Stadium this Fall have remarked on the unusual amount of building in progress on the Cambridge side of the river.

After all, if the dining Halls cannot compete on a free basis with the other restaurants in Cambridge, there does not seem to be much point in giving them the protective tariff of a flat charge per week. While they are still in the infant industry class protection in the form of University subsidy seems much more advisable in that it will not antagonize any potential users...
