If any, there are those who pretend differently-- who hold out to a hard pressed people freedom from pain and trouble, undisturbed repose and constant enjoyment--then cheat the people and impose upon them their lying promises only making the evil worse than before. The high debt of 40 billion for a nation of 130,000,000 inhabitants together with over 10,000,000 unemployed should be much more our common concern than the happenings in Europe. The nations...

The moral attitude toward them has so hardened that a majority of students fell ethically justified in using them. Harvard's collective conscience has almost completely disappeared in this respect; students regularly cheat and feel no qualms about so doing. Parents condone: one tutor recently boasted that his position was impregnable since he tutored the sons of the Corporation. And, more than this, the University administration and Faculty have slid into a neat little niche of grudging tolerance. They recognize that an evil exists...
