...charge the full cost of the tests to students would seriously damage the program; the average student may pay thirty dollars for his tests under the present program; a charge of a hundred would simply prevent many of them from taking any tests. Because the program is of immense benefit to the colleges, both by reducing pressure on introductory courses and by giving schools a real incentive to offer advanced courses, it seems reasonable that the colleges should pay at least part of the costs...
...admissions policy of the college will, hopefully, continue to find room for the "diamond in the rough," the intelligent applicant who at East Podunk High has not been given the academic advantages of Exeter or Bronx Science. Presumably these students benefit from attending Harvard and the diverse background they contribute is valuable for undergraduate education...
...print of the contract. The company has also been involved in policyholder suits. One rose out of a decision by the company's officers in 1926 to set up a parallel life insurance company, using Mutual's facilities and staff. Not only did the parallel company, United Benefit Life Insurance Co., wax rich in the years that followed, but later, Mutual officers who owned most of the privately held United stock proposed to have Mutual buy them out for $24.5 million, half of Mutual's surplus.

...painters have been much acclaimed in the ranks of American painting, with Levine accumulating most of the accolades of late. Nevertheless, I am quite willing to go out on a limb--an unpopular one at this point--and predict that Bloom is likely to far outshine Levine when the benefit of further retrospect makes itself available, and for several reasons. In this particular exhibit, however, the scales are unevenly tipped. Levine appears at his absolute best as virtuoso and as spokesmen of the art; Bloom, on the other hand, doesn't have his maximum say. In both cases this...
