...undergraduate decides that one altered letter in his degree is not worth all this extra work and all the dissipation of energy it involves, what changes must he make in his planned curriculum to align it with his non-classical background? He need make no other change at all. He may take eight courses in English and one in elementary science; that does not alter the fact that, without Latin or Greek, his badge of achievement, awarded after four years, must be in science and not in arts. Moreover, if he wants to try for honors in English he discovers...
Between Mr. Adams' two statements there is something of a contradiction: the youthful, galliard tone is decidedly something extra in Rub life, supplied from a foreign source.

Chesapeake & Ohio maintained its $2.50 rate and is the only U. S. road to pay the same dividend as in 1930. Cincinnati...
...serious group concerned with the practical business of complete production of plays which are new and with-out production precedent. Its fine work in the past and bright outlook for the future are gratifying in so indifferent a university. Nevertheless, it is handicapped by its very nature, as an extra-curricular activity, for it doubtless should be complementary to an adequate treatment of the theory, if not the practice, in the college curriculum...
