Harvard must have unrestricted funds first to improve teachers' salaries, as Dean Moore has said, "all along the line." Harvard is again faced with the problem of underpayment and with a new moral deficit each year which is met only by the self-sacrifice and denial of the underpaid teacher. Harvard's staff of younger teachers is its great reserve. It must have at all times only the best men, regardless of the cost. The greatest emphasis must be placed on the quality of teaching and research. If this is clearly recognized, and the means are provided, Harvard's place...
...objections aside as prejudiced. But Walter Lippmann's challenge to the right of majorities can not be avoided so lightly. In the current issue of Harper's, he logically asserts that no virtue rests in 51 percent of the nation from the simple fact of their majority.

But Mr. Foster would be the last to suggest that his book is a contribution to philosophy. It is written obviously for laymen by a layman...
Late despatches carried Sir Basil's unequivocal denial of the charges lodged against him. His friends assert that he has been "framed" by enemies among his former subordinates at Scotland Yard. His ill-wishers declare that unless the charges against him were true, the case against him would have been instantly dismissed. Meanwhile British Communists rejoiced at the discomfiture of one of their most tireless enemies...
