However, such grand vistas have been opened in the educational landscape by this scheme that every effort should be made to preserve these, even at the expense of painting over other original aims. There are three separate and distinct aspects to the American Civilization Plan. First is its extra-curricular nature. This looks toward the inculcation of a habit of self-education in students, toward the provision of a "key to future education" which would make learning a life-long process. Second is its subject matter. This is American history in the broadest sense--cultural, scientific, and economic as well...
...vigorous support which Catholic priests and lay groups have given the Chicago Newspaper Guild in its strike against the Herald & Examiner and American has been a matter of grave concern to pious Catholic Joseph Vincent Connolly, general manager of all Hearst-papers. Month ago he reportedly made a vain effort to present in person the Hearst case to George William Cardinal Mundelein.

...closing his laboratory henceforth to "visits from citizens of totalitarian states" Dr. Bridgman has, to be sure, made a magnificent protest. As an attempt to object publicly to the prostitution of knowledge to the worldly aims of an individual state the effort has proved wildly successful--the whole world is indisputably convinced of Dr. Bridgman's aversion to government regulation of scientific research. But in its broader significance, in the possible scope of its influence, the recently pronounced ban has several conspicuous aspects which stamp it as an impractical, misguided, dangerous effort...
