...long as the plans for broader fields of concentration remain in the embryonic stage, a satisfactory solution is difficult. It is rather too much to hope that sufficiently versatile tutors can be found to shoulder the burden of correlation in History-Government-Economies, much as they would be appreciated. Therefore, the best plan would be for the division to require a short thesis of all its concentrators in the spring of Junior year on any topic which combines their field of concentration with another, whether inside the actual division or not. This freedom is important, frequently government might be combined...
...harddriving, efficient agency of government, Justice Butler was two invaluable things-a workhorse and a judicial craftsman. All jobs need professionals, plowmen who can drive their furrow in hard ground, and cut that furrow straight, deep and clean. Such a hard-working plowman was Pierce Butler, carrying the burden and heat of the day for his conservative colleagues, while Justice Van Devanter smiled blandly, Justice Sutherland worked sporadically, and Justice McReynolds contented himself with indignant snorts...
...Life of Greece, therefore, Will Durant bears the burden of proof. His subject is one which fed and instructed the best minds of several robust centuries (16th, 17th, 18th) and stimulated the liberal revolutionaries who founded the U. S. and French republics. Durant does not capitalize on that. His treatment of Greek literature is more warmly informative than the Encyclopaedia Britannica, but it is commonplace in taste and no match for the subject. His illustrations are less than adequate (no papyrus, no comic masks, no small pottery) though such selections as the archaic mask of "Agamemnon" (see cut) are fresh...
...revoked. From this it should be clear that Browder, for the purposes of the case, had a dual personality: that of the Communist spokesman and that of the passport violator. He was excluded from a Harvard assembly in his second capacity only. If Mr. Greene was sincere--and the burden of proof rests upon those who say he was not--then no one has denied the right of a Communist to speak at Harvard. If Tom Girdler had been indicted for income tax evasion pending a lecture engagement here, he too would have been denied the right to speak...
...eager shoulders the Student Union has placed the burden of determining Harvard's sentiments on war or peace. Its "University Peace Poll" will reveal on Friday the pro and con results of questions challenging every American mind. In the enthusiasm of following the lead of other collegiate polls, in the desire to represent its own opinions as those of the majority, the Student Union has forgotten its immense responsibility. The results of the poll will be hailed as "the voice of Harvard." But what value is the "voice" when the prompter has insinuated directions in every line...
