First, the administration in one notable particular has been guilty of lack of foresight. The Houses were begun in the high tide of prosperity, and rents were fixed on a basis of a "bull market". The administration at Yale, dilatory and ineffective though it has been in establishing a House Plan which will not go into operation until 1933, nevertheless had the foresight to set aside a fixed fraction of the Harkness gift and use this fraction as an endowment of the Houses.

The collegiate press has declined to a low ebb when it neglects such matters and conforms to such an apparent policy of provincialism.--D.C.S. Daily Tar Heel, University of North Carolina...
...Author, Poet Laureate of Nebraska, Author Neihardt knows his Indians well. To the Omahas he is Tae Nuga Zhinga (Little Bull Buffalo); to the Sioux, Igimou Chicakala (Little Cat). He first went to interview Black Elk to get tales of great Chief Crazy Horse; returned for an extended stay to write down the old man's own story. At its conclusion the party went to the top of Harney Peak. There the medicine man delivered his final lamentation for his people; from a droughty sky he called rain to accompany his tears. Black Elk's friend Standing Bear...
