...Last week it looked as if Westinghouse would stay in the black for at least a decade. The American Railway Association, as one of its last acts before it was formally absorbed by the bigger & better Association of American Railroads, announced that 80% of its members had voted to equip their old freight rolling stock with new Westinghouse brakes already required by the Association on new equipment. Binding on all members, the vote called for completion of the changeover within ten years. Westinghouse not only invented the air brake, but, before he was through, nearly perfected it. All improvements since...
Corporative State? Ironically, the Man With the Cleft Nose was not mustered into the Hitler Cabinet to play the desperate role of Economic Tsar but to equip Germany with an ordered "Corporative State." Chancellor Hitler, who despises armchair economists, took a keen personal liking to dynamic Dr. Schmitt as a "frontline war fighter." (His nose, however, was not cleft in battle but in a student duel.) Not an original Nazi, Dr. Schmitt entered the Cabinet with a reputation as Germany's No. 1 insurance tycoon, a man of rugged integrity whose energy and calm enabled the Frankfurter Insurance...
...been thrown into discard. While these changes, may seem superficial to our older colleagues, they are significant in that they place responsibility directly on the student.

Five acres of soil with each house will enable Homesteaders to raise their own food, sell a surplus. For house & garden they will pay the Government $15-$20 a month for 20 years, payments to begin two years after occupancy. To construct and equip a factory in Reedsville to make furniture and other things for the Post Office Department $525,000 of PWA funds were allotted last October by Secretary Ickes. Construction of the building will provide some 2.000 man-months of labor for Homesteaders, and on completion the plant will give permanent employment to some 150.* Eventually the Government...
Looking further ahead, it is important that these changes be extended to include the Freshmen. For the present, it would be ridiculous to propose such a regime for them because their secondary school education does not equip them for such a burden. As the CRIMSON has often reiterated, the flood of men who come from high schools and private schools to Harvard each year need to be treated like so many babies and in addition require survey courses which would best find their place in a school curriculum. This is not only wrong: it is a positive hindrance...
