...much as possible on the world outside. While Dr. Neilson is far from satisfied with education as it is, youngsters like Chicago's Hutchins who harbor elaborate and drastic schemes for reforming it, he considers "naÏve." Chief extracurricular activity in recent years has been his editorship of Webster's New International Dictionary. Currently Smith is worried over reports that President Neilson is going to resign. That he will not do so until he is ready is certain, since he is chairman of Smith's board of trustees...

Johnston and a deputation of State officials gathered in the University's field house to inaugurate Alumnus McKissick, who had worked up from the editorship of the Greenville Piedmont through the deanship of the University's school of journalism, as the University's 19th president.

Old Bob had peered amiably on occasion into the University but when the Republican and Progressive regents got together to elect Editor Frank, then an eloquent young Republican liberal...
There are so many mediocre teachers. There are so many at Harvard. Harvard should have hung on to Benny De Voto if it had to offer him Sever Hall with the Memorial Chapel thrown in. I am aware that he resigned in order to accept the editorship of the Saturday Review of Literature. But if a great university has no resources sufficient to retain a teacher it badly needs, a good many young men are going to regret that fact...
