...Assembly knows that the Engelhard Foundation obviously would not have turned over $1 million without first having insisted on recognition and a legal contract. Harvard would be breaking that legal contract by renaming the Engelhard Library. Even if there was only a moral contract and even if the donation was returned, the Engelhard Foundation could still sue Harvard because 1) the Foundation has been without the use of its money for some time and 2) Harvard allowed Charles Engelhard's name to be smeared at a public dedication...
...complaint is rather frequently heard at Harvard, that all resident students are required to purchase a compulsory 21 meal per week board contract, even though statistics show that the average student eats only 14 meals per week. We believe that many residents of Harvard College desire a choice of meal plans, which would allow them greater flexibility and possible monetary savings, as compared to the present 21-meal plan...

Under student holding a contract which allows him less than 21 meals per week must be prevented from taking part in meals for which he is not eligible...

Oddly, in Brussels, Bergerac presented himself as an American executive called Mike; back in the U.S. he is referred to as Michel, which seems more appropriate for a cosmetics king...
Like the products of such factories in the '30s, actors from the same term-contract stable are to be seen in both movies, as are the same hopelessly unrealistic standing sets, only cursorily redecorated. In the first, a New York errand boy (Harry Hamlin), affronted by a contender, knocks him out with a single punch and is induced to abandon his quest for a night-school law degree in order to enter the square circle (about the only cliche not to be heard in the script), in order to earn money for an operation to save his sister...
