...theory. Practical experience in Radio Servicing, for instance, gets the high school graduate his first job. For advancement to Radio Engineering, however, he must have a theoretical background--Math, Physics, Chemistry--and it is courses like these that the Undergraduate Faculty can supply. A new responsibility has come to face each college. With his potential knowledge the student can take an active part in boosting the high school graduate a few rungs higher on his vocational ladder...
...steel's price cuts will raise questions: How far can steel prices tumble without steel managements opening fire on wages? What then of wages generally, and labor peace? Will other prices follow down the price of steel? Can industry afford to buy materials months in advance in the face of threatening inventory losses and production curtailment?

It was the subject matter of this course, in a new incarnation, which visitors last week saw displayed in the Museum of Modern...
...this exhibit we are brought face to face with the frank and unpretentious nature of real people, real feelings, and real situations. That most of the paintings were framed and hung by members of the Museum Class contributes not a little toward making the exhibit something more than a vapid supplement to an afternoon tea party. There is nothing in the whole collection reminiscent of the phrase "art for art's sake," that syrupy expression which connotes lack of sincerity: in short, lack of something to say.
