...sent students into a new activity, volunteer military training. Captain Cordelier, of the French Mission, started a volunteer University regiment in 1916. During that year, 1400, or onefourth of the University, volunteered for it. An Aero Corps of 52 students was started the same year, and CRIMSON editorials favored the idea of universal military service. By January of 1917, a poll showed 72 per cent of Harvard students in favor of conscription.

Richard Gottlieb's adaptation of the original series by Don Marquis, however, largely ignores the periods atmosphere in favor of the humor and occasional pathos of Marquis's animal characters.

Strategy for Defense. Though resisting tender offers is difficult, Hayes and Taussig figure that the odds nevertheless favor the defense by a 2.86-to-l margin. Defenses are many. Racine Hydraulics & Machinery fought off a takeover bid by Bucyrus-Erie Co. not long ago by writing and telephoning some 3,000 stockholders, joining a hastily formed committee of Racine citizens in buying up its own shares in the market.

Accordingly, the commission is backing a bill by New Jersey's Democratic Senator Harrison Williams that would require a tender bidder to disclose his name, financing arrangements, and any plans he has for the firm. Though most brokerage firms and investment bankers favor regulation, many disagree with one part of the bill, which would force tender makers to divulge their plans to the SEC five days in advance of the actual offer. That, they argue, would tend to discourage all tender offers-and so help to entrench existing managements, good...
