Unobtrusively slipping by after formal classes are over, afternoon and evening lectures on countless subjects are presented by some of the ablest and most prominent members of the Faculty. The sad story is that these do slip by, unnoticed and unattended except by an alert few. Lectures open to the public as well as students have the smallest College representation, mainly because undergraduates forget time and place or consider the effort needed to go, fruitless. Unfortunately for them, they are passing by an irretrievable chance to learn something about subjects which are only names to the mind, or to pursue...
...program of production control cannot be blamed for this year's low prices, except insofar as it was not drastic enough in the face of huge carry-overs from the bumper crops of 1937. The necessity of some sort of reduction was recognized even by Hoover's Farm Board in the waning days of McNary-Haugenism.

Sometimes this friend of Vag's would come to his penthouse room and timidly knock on the door and ask in a small voice if Vag had anything for him. Vag seldom did. And he has nothing for him now except a growing respect for this little man who manages to be so dignified about an undignified business. His store is bare now, and all the stuff has been moved elsewhere--to new a quarters eastward, but still "on the Avenue." Workmen are now changing and rebuilding the front...
