...Chase fears that teaching is to be made a sideline and productive scholarship a final end. The President emphasizes the importance of scholarship only because he considers it a prime necessity, for the making of a good teacher for the University, and for the function of the University as a source of teaching for the whole country, as outlined in his address to the Harvard club of New York...

Mr. Ulman had fought President Lee's plans as bitterly as Banker Prince. Last week Mr. Ulman and Lawyer Wallace were added to the full Prince-Lee slate. While election tellers went through with the formality of counting the vote, a lawyer read a report from a stockholders' committee. Up jumped Mr. Ulman to accuse him of being a paid attorney, not a stockholder. His speech of denial was drowned...
