...theory of the conference as a means of communication and contact to mutual advantage. It is a theory subject to abuse either because of the character of the delegates or the subject under discussion. Official student representatives discussing the educational process may fairly be assumed to fulfill to large extent both these conditions. The exchange of viewpoint, of problems, between men from Princeton, Leland Stanford, and Ohio, or between a great university like Michigan, and a small college like Franklin and Marshall is eminently worth while, subject to the conditions stated above. Broadening of viewpoint and of understanding...
...from a common center. This in turn brings up the third point, the necessary central and regional structural work around which to build the various activities of the Federation. Such structural work, begun last year, was developed further at the Congress. More important, it was decentralized to a certain extent by the basis laid for regional work last week-end. Top heavy, centralized organization in a geographical unit of the size of the United States would lay the Federation open immediately to all sorts of objections which are too obvious to be detailed. This snare, again...
...would support the Geneva protocol. ¶Germany can manufacture methanol (synthetic wood alcohol) for 48? per gallon; in the U. S. the production costs range from 72? to 75?. So, last week President Coolidge raised the tariff on methanol from 12? to 18? per gallon, thereby using the full extent of his power under the Fordney-McCumber Tariff Act of 1922, which authorizes him to change duties within limits of 50%. This is the eighth time that President Coolidge has raised the tariff; twice (on live bob white quail and paintbrush handles) he has lowered it. ¶General Humbert Nobile...
...president. Mr. Franklin has had many things to fight-foreign competition, inertia of U. S. shippers, a heavy $36,000,000 bonded indebtedness, most of all legislative handicaps. No other government regulates wages, conditions of work and contracts of its seamen as does the U. S., and to that extent at least foreign shipping concerns have had an advantage over U. S. competitors. Morgan's International Mercantile Marine has never paid a common dividend; its accumulated, unpaid preferred dividends are 64% of their face value; its yearly deficit has been, since 1923, $2,500,000. So the Morgan dream...
...recent CRIMSON editorial, declaring that the air in the Widener Library's reading rooms was not fit--to breathe, stirred the very heart and soul of one of Harvard's embryo investigators of nature to such an extent that, in a militant spirit, he advanced against the upper reading room, surrounded some of the doubtful air by vigorous charges of an atomizer in two one liter flasks, and bear a cautious retreat to Boylston Hall, holding tightly...
