...teaching fellows, annual instructors, and administrative expenses. In this case the number of non-permanent teachers dropped would almost certainly be disproportionate to the number of students drafted, and instruction would consequently be impaired. The criticism dealing with tutorial follows from this, as non-Faculty men do the bulk of the tutorial work. The third criticism also is bound up in the plan of having each department take care of its own ten percent cut, and would be valid only in the departments which happened to be affected. But a graduated salary slice, the Union feels, would actually...
...back at the post, on the rising ground above the Potomac, military magic was in evidence. Up the street from the red brick bulk of Barracks "E"; marched the battalion of the Candidates' Class, its green-clad legs chiming as smoothly as the blades of a mowing machine. At each group's head marched Marine lieutenants, on their flanks lean-hipped sergeants with scarlet-backed chevrons and hashmarks, marksmanship medals glinting in the sunlight.

Then the handful will shout louder. A few fair men on the other side will argue and reason against the war with...
Many a trucker has wondered how much time & money he could save if his firm were big enough to buy tires and gasoline in bulk, carry a 100% pay load on all trips, act as its own insurance company. In 1939 a corporation called The Transport Co. was organized to find out. Transport's plan: to buy up 48 trucking and truck renting firms (operating over 10,000 vehicles in 18 Eastern and Southern States), consolidate them into the nation's first really big motorized freight system...
