...course such a purchase constitutes for the University a capital investment, an the funds are obtained accordingly. The land will become permanent property of Harvard, and what has been a constant eyesore in the midst of the river front, will now be remedied.

An example of this may be seen in the agricultural actions of this country where grain prices have taken a disastrous drop while mortgages have remained the same. Retrenchment in the long run leads the boarding and the tying up of credit and money. Whatever the present condition of England...
