Furthermore, the booklet reprints, from last year's February Negro Digest, Hardin's article entiled "The Uses of the Afro-American Past." This essay, whose title pays homage to Herbert J. Muller's magnificent book, The Uses of the Past, is one of the finest Negro Digest has published...
...result reads like a combination for an IBM ad in the CRIMSON and Reader's Digest's "From the Campus" section, all the better.

It took, he thought, that long for your mind to digest the material and accept, on the level of faith, the concepts he was trying to put across. The same is true of other courses, and the student should have the right to adjust his test-taking...
