...Pacific Coast Conference (comprising ten colleges) has the No. 1 basketball team, the No. 1 crew and the No. 1 football team in the U. S. this year. A little self-conscious about the perennial charges of subsidization directed overtly and covertly at some of its members, the Pacific Coast Conference last week decided to find out just how professional it really is. That the member colleges did not exactly trust one another was evidenced by the researcher they chose to investigate their affairs: pug-nosed Edwin N. Atherton, onetime G-man and recent head of San Francisco...
...with a total world production of 1,314,369 units. In another respect, however-public relations-1937 was perhaps the worst year in Ford history. Once universally regarded as a model employer, in 1937 Henry Ford saw himself and his company held up to hatred in a suddenly labor-conscious nation. Only fortnight ago came an adverse ruling on his labor policies by the National Labor Relations Board.

Roosevelt I raised trust-busting to prime issue of his time. In the roaring 1920s the subject was seldom mentioned except by such old-school Progressives as George Norris and William Borah, and even in the first four years of the New Deal trust-busting languished. Meantime the form of Big Business changed from the monopolistic trust to the domination of an industry by a group of potent corporations. Monopoly...
...respectable cultural traditions of past presidents, but also those of the University's present head. President Conant has made it plain that he desires a return to the "liberal arts"; he has spent much effort to develop a program whereby both the student and the public may become conscious of our American civilization and interested in its general progress. It does not seem that neither he nor even the Harvard student wants the college to become a school for learning only the principles of good citizenship or the trades. It should not be the business of Harvard College to train...
