...plague broke out in this country, would the professors at the Harvard Medical School have let quack doctors carry through their plans for the cure? No,--they would have fought tooth and nail for the real cure. They would have attempted to influence those in power, and would have publicized their ideas vociferously until they had been heard. A depression is in many ways worse than a plague. It means crime, degeneration, degradation, poverty, misery, unhappiness, for millions of people...
English Mirth. Specialists at putting Europe's upstarts neatly in their places are the unruffled, uninsultable civil servants of the British Foreign Office. They knew exactly how to cure Herr Hitler's cold, and it never occurred to them to return crude blow for blow.

Repression was never yet a remedy for anything...

In gaining admission to English 22 and English A-2 (which courses would probably be called the "first" step) the selection would still rest with the instructor; obviously only a part of those applying would have been measured by the English A-1 yardstick. (2) In the three "higher" courses, 12, 31, and 5, the applicant is likely to find a gradation rule a boomerang. As it is now, the instructors...
