Before the U.S. can exploit even an acre of tidelands, Congress must set up new administrative machinery. The legislators have been in no hurry to do so.

These persons are out to take the married student for all they can get and to sell their shoddy goods at the highest price the traffic will bear. For those of us who have given up a great deal in order to come to Harvard, such a coldly indifferent act on the part of the University provides slight basis for any affectionate regard toward it, now or in the future . . .
