Several Houses have initiated a new program of seminars and tutorials this Fall in accordance with Dean Monro's plan to establish a broader intellectual experience for students not enrolled in regular departmental tutorials. The plan, administered independently by the respective Masters, varies greatly in format from House to House...
...Despite broader aims, his production never parts with its broad a. Nor is it slick; it is simply more farcical and playful than the usual production, more given to sassy detail in an unmolested design, to whispering what is commonly bellowed or enlarging what is usually small.

But the Federal Reserve Board has shown no signs...
