...however useful, would carry a student of medicine. The tissue and substance of the professional training of the forester, just as in the case of the doctor, are quite distinct and peculiar. I do not believe that we have anybody here who could pretend to give this training, and even if we should secure some one to do the teaching, we should still lack proper equipment. It is misleading to speak as if the College, apart from the professional schools, could give the would-be forester more than it gives anyone else, a good foundation for his special knowledge...

If they mean a lease of a larger building, which they have already decided against, I can refer them to a reputable real estate broker of Cambridge who told me today that he would be willing to sign...
...typical of those in all large cities. The only way to free the cities of this evil is for men to work to overthrow the rule as forcefully as the bosses work to establish it. The present conditions of corruption are due to politics and hypocrisy. If laws even though wrong stand on the statute books, then the officers are in duty bound to enforce them...
