Again from the standpoint of a neutral outsider, it would seem to me that a lot more could be done by supporting the system at your institution, right or wrong, rather than by trying to undermine whatever college spirit may still exist by criticising a man and a policy about which obviously the writer knows very little. If every man in the Harvard student body will get behind the administration, Bill Bingham, the coach, and the team, and will stay behind them. Harvard will not only have a winning team, but will justify the hope of every true sportsman that...
...standards, while tutoring is, by its very nature, an individual and almost secret process. It's success or failure, moreover, may depend on the variable qualities of the students who are tutored. Nevertheless, one who takes the trouble to inquire soon learns that in each Department rather definite opinions exist as to the ability of the several tutors.

On the growing hypothesis that steel-nerved Stalin for once has been badly scared, his executions of "pure terror'' and continued arrests were understandable last week. Down in Kiev, ancient, church-jammed Mother Town of All The Russias, star chamber trials continued under famed Judge Ulrich. Meanwhile Comrade Nicolaev, the assassin of "Dear Friend...
...other big U. S. church has Fundamentalism excited so many people so frequently for so long as it has in the Presbyterian Church in the U. S. A. Grounded in the beliefs of the 19th Century, Presbyterian Fundamentalism continued to exist long after many a good religionist decided he could yield a little to science without harming his soul. But sometime after 1920 Presbyterian Fundamentalists suddenly awoke to what they called the Menace of Modernism in their midst.
