...some people have no respect for tradition, and the rejuvenated athletic department at Penn seems to contain a few such individuals. Going to the University of Pennsylvania for the athletic program used to be like going to Wool-worth's to buy a suit. But some of the more ambitious persons connected with Penn went out to rustle up some jocks, and the shortest of chats with some of the Quaker's heavyweight oarsmen, last Saturday at Worcester makes it quite clear that they came up with a pretty rare and rugged species. After a while, even the most docile...

Provided with the amount of money she needs, each Scholar works out her own budget and schedule. She can use the money to buy time, by using it to hire a babysitter.

French reserves fell for the twelfth consecutive week, while German Bundesbank reserves jumped by $400 million. Only the strict French currency controls prevented a much sharper shift out of francs and into marks...
...small investor in Europe, the rule has long been to put up and shut up. He could buy a company's stock, but for him to complain about the company's management was not done. No wonder, therefore, that last week Giorgio Valerio, chairman of Italy's Montecatini Edison, was in a state of shock. At the annual meeting of Italy's largest private company, the long-frustrated small stockholders angrily showered Valerio with a mixed barrage of small coins, epithets and crumpled copies of the company balance sheet. Their urgent message was that...
