Robertson says, "This is really the best deal we've gotten yet, thanks to Jean Evans and Mary Paget, who managed to dig out enough money to pay for a lot of the trip. That has never happened before. We have to pay for the food, but the rest is being paid for. Two years ago we went on a spring trip but it was paid for by the students, entirely. Last year we never got organized in time to go. This year the impetus came from the Radcliffe Athletic Office. It's really good...
...land; ... the houses of ivory shall perish, and the great houses shall have an end, saith the Lord... they afflict the just, they take a bride, and they turn aside the poor in the gate from their right... Woe to them that are at ease in Zion... though they dig into hell, thence shall my hand take them; though they climb up to heaven, thence will I bring them down...

...mine them. But the picture would change if the price of imported minerals became oppressively high. Though American bauxite reserves are limited, there is an abundance of other clays and ores from which aluminum could be produced-at increased cost. Rising foreign prices would also make it worthwhile to dig out less accessible mineral deposits and thus open up large new reserves of chromium, copper, iron ore and other materials. Proven American reserves of lead total 36 million tons, easily enough to last through this century-and probably a lot longer-because so much lead is recycled. In addition...
