Under present distribution requirements it is possible to elect either French 2 or German 2 as a course in literature. Few would doubt that an appreciation of at least one literature is essential to a liberal education, yet these two courses which are so frequently used to fulfill the requirement are not primarily concerned with literature. Their popularity among students rests on the fact that if one already has a reading knowledge of the language, or if one desires to pass off the language requirements at the same time, German 2 and French 2 involve little or no additional work...
...family that was about to be evicted, that they distributed free coal during a hard winter, that last summer they gave the children of the neighborhood an outing when the city sweltered.

There can be little doubt that the demands for aid for disabled veterans, widows, and orphans is legitimate enough. The question this time, however, is not only whether the other members of the Legion deserve the bonus, but whether husky legionnaires should shoulder onto overburdened tax-payers debts which are due them neither legally nor morally, as the bonus bill calls for no reimbursement before 1945. To be sure, in their eagerness to put through immediate legislation for pensions and medical care they generously declare, "The bonus can wait a while," but with these bills passed, it will be only...
