...those preparing for graduate study and those merely wanting an A.B. are to a large extent interwoven; and concludes that rather than substitute an alternative plan of study, which would overthrow the principle of concentration that each should be "provided with comprehensive knowledge and systematic training in a particular field," the present plan can be successfully revised. This consideration is all pertinent, since in these troublous times the undergraduate, whether scholarly or not, is seriously questioning the value of his education in the light of his future...
...first it should be made clear that Harvard is fundamentally a liberal arts college, not a vocational school; we do not come here for the training per se, but rather for the effects it may produce. Therefore, it makes slight difference what field is picked for concentration or what courses are selected for distribution. And no one should care if we intend to be a lawyer or a shoe salesman...
Finally the gladiators come staggering off the field of combat, gripping their injured members, and collapse on the floor in all the positions the Dying Gaul would have assumed had he been able to move. Immediately after their departure from the ice, which now looks like a strawberry patch after an elephant stampede, the more mundaneminded onlookers rush out and howl with glee at the residue...
Although it was the most talented field in the history of the event, most of the 4,000 spectators were especially eager to see the performance of Joan Tozzer, 17, defending champion, and Audrey Peppe, 20, who lost the title last year by the heart-breaking margin of 1 10 of a point.

...behavior of criminals differs radically and conspicuously from that of law-abiding people; therefore Hooton boldly set out in 1926 to get anthropological data on criminals. His trained field workers spent three years collecting it, and another nine years were spent at Harvard analyzing it. Now Anthropologist Hooton is ready to release his findings. The Harvard University Press is to publish a huge technical monograph in three volumes for scientists. For laymen, many-sided Dr. Hooton last week published a shorter and simpler book, Crime and the Man* which put the salient facts of his investigation in lighter form...
