...present document was foisted on the student body by the Student Council in 1936, was accepted by 17 members of that year's Council and by no one else, and has managed to thrive on college-wide indifference and slothfulness ever since. A student body that endows its governing organization with $5000 per year, that relies on this body for its sole representation before the Administration of the University, has accepted Council after Council at face value without realizing that this group unilaterally has assumed existence, power, and rules. If there are faults in the organization, if there are unhealthy...
...powers of proposing and ratifying amendments to its own membership? Merely because 17 members of a Student Council guessed that these provisos were equitable ten years ago? Even then they were not convinced. Reports claim that these back-room sessions were "smoke-filled and heated." But while the document lay on a table in Phillips Brooks House for thirty days, waiting for someone to raise an objection (which would have caused further discussion, but still no student vote), Harvard was too absorbed in the Tercentenary Celebration to worry about a Student Council. So the present system, elections, or rather lack...
Blessing & Bilge. That family is the mood and mind of Britain in the gloomy yet still hopeful summer of 1946.

...Living Church this week blazed with indignation. The cause: proposed union of the Protestant Episcopal Church and the Presbyterian Church in the U.S.A. Since 1943, an Episcopal Joint Commission on Approaches to Unity had labored on a merger plan. It brought forth not one document, but two. The majority report set up a basis for the proposed merger. The minority report deplored the proposal: ". . . We cannot believe that it is right in the sight of God and in loyalty to His Church to ask the Church to study . . . what we are profoundly convinced is repugnant to the mind of Christ...
...Gallows in the Rain. Gayest feather in any Jesuit hat was "Campion's Brag." This document, written for use after his almost certain arrest, circulated beforehand and made him famous. In it he asked for three audiences: with the Privy Council, the Masters of the Universities, and the lawyers of the realm, to prove the truth of his faith...
