...might also wish to differ with the writer's conclusions upon the mechanics of recording information gathered in college. Any system beyond the barest fundamentals is highly individual; some men retain more of a lecture through scrawling cryptic notes in margins than do others by recording it word for word. The essential information regarding these matters of routine might be given in one short talk...
...touch for the convincing of his fellowmen. It lays out the blank form, as it were, which the student will fill out as he goes along and with increasing understanding of scope and inter-relationship delves into the vast subjects of which the course gives him only the barest of glimpses.

The Moscow Government this winter faces trials more severe than the menace of an isolated attacking army. Famine, poverty, discontent--these will have to be met and remedied. The success or failure of Lenine depends now, not on armies...
