Official recognition that tutorial work can vary in quality just as courses do comes as a bright sign for future undergraduates. Those in the second class will be given tutorial work from which they can profit, and an extra course thrown in, while the college will no longer have to supply expensive individual instruction to those who cannot use it to the full. Thus, though vigilant read-justments and changes will inevitably have to be made from time to time, the current report of the Dean marks a turning point in the career of the tutorial system, a corner around...
...bridge tables, footstools, chessmen magnetized so they will not tumble in rough air. United's sacrifice of seven seats, though partially offset economically by increased cargo capacity, still leaves a 30% reduction in normal DC-3 payload. Therefore United made its new "Skylounges" the world's first extra-fare planes, imitating the standard practice of special trains and crack liners.

Though rivals scoffed, TWA last week complacently claimed that its low fares were proving ideal. TWA passenger traffic in November, first month the low fares were in effect, was 122% greater than in November...

A scaling down of the price for men on scholarships would be a fair provision, by way of softening the blow of an unexpected expense to these men. These extra funds would solve the H.A.A.'s minor sports question for the present, and should not be opposed by Freshmen of immediately approaching years. These men use the athletic facilities free only because of the compulsory character of yearling athletics. Yet if they did not exercise on a regular schedule...
