...Indisputable evidence exists that the broad outlines of the Italo-Albanian treaty were drawn by these two statesmen [Premier Mussolini and the British Foreign Seccretary Sir Austen Chamberlain] during their famous meeting on Chamberlain's yacht* off the Italian coast at Leghorn in early October" (TIME, Oct. 11). 2) The previous British policy of upholding Albanian independence was scrapped as long ago as last June, when the British Minister to Albania, William O'Reilly, and Mr. Robert Parr, chargé d'affaires for many years, were both recalled from Albania and succeeded by the present Minister, William Seeds. 3) The Italian...

Such is the trend of the curriculum at Harvard; away from this artificial division of knowledge into the compartments of various courses and toward greater individual work and research under the general guidance of tutors. Every such requirement as that referred to above, every further limitation upon the number of courses required for a degree with distinction, like...
