...Ever since the eighteenth century American idealists have proposed that education could remedy any and all human maladies. Confronted with the ignorance of the electorate, Jefferson proposed universal education. Confronted with the racism of Caucasians, the NAACP proposed integrated schools. Confronted with the rise of Sputnik, a chorus of voices is calling for a rougher academic curriculum. Since this faith in education is universal, the great debate of our time is not whether or not the schools can save us from radioactive ruin, but merely which educational policy will turn the trick...
...this, however, a new focus on collecting has emerged during recent years. While important French canvases have been finding more or less permanent homes in museums and smaller groupings, while old masters have made themselves still less accessible, a greater number of people than ever before have become interested in acquiring original works of art. Reproductions are sometimes better than nothing, but they rarely approach accuracy and, above all, they are many times removed from "the real thing." So, whether from a sense of the genuine or just a sense of possession, (which has always played a part...
...this year, before Bicker ever got under way, what Dean of Students William D'O. Lippincott has termed "a surprisingly large number" rejected the club system and Bicker to join the the Lodge.

...real problem lies well beyond this. The question of whether or not the generally educated Conantman could ever make any very profound judgement on the merits of this or that scientific program on purely scientific grounds, must at present be answered negatively. It seems likely that there will be a continuing need for the Killian-type scientific advisor at all levels, and such suggestions as the Committee's, urging the use of calculus in Nat. Sci., do not and cannot go very far towards alleviating this situation...
...position for the first time this season, having defeated Captain Charlie Hamm in a recent challenge match. Below these two, Barnaby will have Tim Gallwey, Fred Vinton, Pete Lund, John Davis, Charlie Poletti, Wally Stimpson and Tony Lake rounding out one of the most balanced, powerful lineups he has ever put on a court. Of the seven men below Hamm and Emmet, almost one one of them could hold down the third position without greatly impairing the Crimson's effectiveness. However, the elements at Annapolis being what they are, it remains to be seen what the relatively untried varsity will...
