...only a dramatic example of the vandalism and viciousness to which the University and its students have been subjected this year. On Monday night the radio aerials of nine ears parked on Mt. Auburn Street were maliciously snapped off. On previous occasions I have counted as many as fifteen ears parked on Dunster Street on which this same prank was played.

...typical schoolmarm fifteen years ago was her own janitor, boarded with a local family, earned $867 a year. After questioning 4,200 rural schoolteachers, the National Education Association decided that times are changing. In 1952 she was apt to have her own home, drive an automobile, make $2,484.
