...Martin's article on careers after college, which appears elsewhere in today's CRIMSON, should prove distinctly startling to the average undergraduate. Accustomed as he is to a secure position in the university community, the idea of such intense personal competition in the business world is a striking contrast to the leisurely life of the student today...
...interest which European students manifest in affairs of state evidently comes from their assumption that it is their unalterable right to do so. At any rate the latest riot affords an interesting contrast to the manner and subject of student riots in America. The undergraduates of Spain engage in fisticuffs with the officers of the same army which ended Rivera's dictatorship because they are delighted in the return of Monarchy. The younger generation in the United States confines its outbursts mostly to matters academic which have aroused their wrath. Be it faculty infringement on their privileges, the removal...

Using the scientific method of induction he has sifted a huge mass of material into eight specific conclusions, all of them at variance with the accepted code of procedure in penal institutions...

In contrast, for example, to the Harvard tutorial system which has been adopted by so many Eastern colleges, it is not compulsory. Further, the comprehensive examinations at Harvard cover the entire field of a subject regardless of whether or not the material is embodied in the courses the student has taken. The general examinations under the new plan will ordinarily embrace only material that has been included in the courses; but, at the request...
