...proposed to improve the technical instruction and to broaden even further the scope of this study. Other courses adapted to the needs of students in city planning as general education or specific preparation for their work will be arranged with the cooperation of other departments of Harvard University, and students will be enabled to secure the assistance of experts in allied fields. Professors of fine arts, history, economic history, government, particularly municipal and state government, public finance, and public utilities, will open to the students of the new School courses which bear upon city planning or carry further in some...

In a social system which depends so entirely upon the integrity of big corporations, even the most radical can derive but a sad sort of pleasure in a gleeful "I told you so" when big business is cast under a black shadow. As yet the shadow has not settled definitely over more than a single individual; the Senate's findings are still far from complete...
