...original Alliance and Herbert Benjamin's Communist Unemployment Councils submerged their differences, merged with lesser organizations into the present Alliance. The membership (now claimed 400,000. mostly in Eastern, Midwestern and Pacific Coast cities) continually shifts as clients go on & off relief. The leadership is also in constant flux, at the moment includes such active but seldom mentioned figures as John Spain of New Jersey, Lee Morgan of Ohio, Al Brockway of Washington. Dependent for dues on citizens who have no surplus cash, the Alliance is chronically short of money. Treasurer Benjamin last week reported that in the past...
Like Dr. Bock, she has had to overcome a distrust in the student body, and like him has managed to perform her task capably. Her difficulties were increased by the state of flux in which the Hygiene Department has been since Dr. Bock's advent.

All must have seen that a tremendous state of flux surrounded the problems. With this comes the realization that the solution or solutions lies open to all. In a round table each student feels an equality with professors and guests, perhaps illusory, but nonetheless stimulating for it instantly removes the problems from academic shoulders. Interest being in inverse proportion...
...environment has been a constant albeit changing interest throughout the ages. From Aristotle to St. Thomas and from Rousseau to Nietzche, the conception of the ideal relationship between man and his environment no less than that of the environment itself, has been in a state of flux. Now however, the great increase of knowledge of the pathology of the mind has made possible individual prescription as well as the general precept. Research is being made into all the complexities of men as a social animal, notably at the Yale Institute of Human Relations...
