...definitely formulated policy. The unwary student planning a year in a Continental school, who consults with the authorities in the hope of arranging his program abroad to suit them, finds that he is met with nothing but evasion and temporizing. It is quite impossible for him to ascertain what credit he will get for the courses he intends to take; instead he is loftily informed that that is a matter which can be dealt with only after he comes back, when his case will be considered. Upon his return he is somewhat astounded to find his credits unmercifully...

But the people have chosen to pay the interest on this investment in another form; that is, by taxation." The earnest, bumbling Mayor took credit for having dismissed 8,000 city employes, for saving $15,000,000, even for Samuel Untermyer's four-year financial rehabilitation plan worked out with New York bankers. "I'm glad to be able to pass on to my children," he remarked a little forlornly, "the record...
