...suggestion to teach aeronautical theory in our universities is strongly to the point. Lieut, Sir Arthur Brown of the Royal Air Force, responsible for this piece of good counsel, must have noticed the pitifully small scale of our flying service, compared with that of England. Perhaps our slow progress at present deserves excuse, because other far reaching problems confront the Government in the form of labor questions. But in the near future we are likely to see the formation by Congress of a special Department of Aeronautics. A bill to that effect is before the Senate now. The new department...
...rumored that the custom of appointing Senior advisers for Freshmen is to be resumed next fall. There are conclusive reasons why this action should be taken. A Freshman passing his first months in the University is certain to feel the need to counsel with some one whom experience makes competent to give advice.

Though an effort to remedy a grievous situation, it is rather a confession of inability to cope with the problem...
...plan agreed upon between Harvard and the Institute of Technology devotes three-fifths of the endowment to an engineering school, which is not only located at the Institute but is conducted and controlled by the Institute instead of by the University. We cannot assent to the assertion of counsel that 'the school of applied science on the Charles River embankment is a Harvard school, a department of Harvard University...
