...First to establish the tutorial system at Harvard, the department has retained ever since 1909 a vivid sense of its educational objective and of the right function of the tutors in working toward that objective. The tutors are probably more interested in the idea of undergraduate education and more conscious of their part in it than the men of almost any other department...
...Geography concentrator, no less real than those of interesting subject matter in courses and tutorial and the opportunity to maintain contacts with stimulating thinkers in the department. There is an air of easy, friendly informality about the museum where most of the work is done. One is never conscious of drudgery or tediousness when working there. At almost any time, a group of concentrators and graduate students can be found in the midst of an animated discussion on timely aspects of Geography (one realizes again in these discussions how comprehensive the subject is!).

Weatherman Colton's crash made citizens conscious of a new profession. Before airplanes, kites and balloons took weather recording instruments aloft in out-of-the-way places.

Wisconsin knows her as a liberal in education (onetime regent of its University, her alma mater), as a progressive in politics (she took...
...world events do not wait on American presidential elections. The Democrats come into office at a time of world crisis and the new men whom they appoint must deal instantly with questions of vital interest to our country. Let us hope that they may be wise men, so conscious of their own lack of intimate knowledge of these questions that they will act conservatively, for the moment at least, strictly along the lines of traditional American foreign policy which is neither Democratic nor Republican...
