...ready to receive him in the Blue Room. In excellent English the Ambassador read: . . . The very fact of the cooperation and friendship between two such great and powerful nations as the United States and the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics must inevitably be of great historical significance and of direct far-reaching moment in the cause of world peace. . . . On entering my mission here. I shall consider it my highest task to do everything in my power toward the creation of the closest bonds . . . between our two nations."

When a speed of about 18 m.p.h. is attained, centrifugal force throws out the weights, engaging a small supplementary clutch which throws the car into direct drive (high gear). When the car slows down below 18 m.p.h. the weights drop back, the small clutch disengages and the car is automatically in low. As the low is a fast low, Reo has provided a manual shift which changes the ratio to a low low and high low. Reverse...

...graduate student perhaps feels this restriction more seriously and continuously than any other member of the University. A large amount of his work demands the direct examination of original sources and manuscripts in the stacks. The present limitation of time has resulted in overcrowding the stacks and unsatisfactory study in such a hurried condition. That the graduate student should think more and read less is perhaps a sagacious enough truism, but the mere arbitrary contention does not change the present graduate study over night. The extinction of light does not necessarily bring more and brighter light. The undergraduate is certainly...
