...smiled on both and kept both in their jobs. Last week, however, came an indication that this must soon end. Whether or not Arthur Morgan felt that the cause of moderation was losing, he felt that the time had come to appeal to the public. He issued a formal statement, setting down his personal views. Long and mild, indulging in no personalities, it turned out to be a state paper setting forth the fundamental choice in power policies that lies before the New Deal, expounding a great schism in liberal philosophy...
Such glamour and revolutionary talent cannot be that of an official Soviet personage or even a comrade known to be intimate with Stalin. Reason: nearly every country which has recognized the Stalin regime has exacted formal treaty pledges-as did President Roosevelt-that Soviet diplomats, consuls and such will not in practice work to foment the "World Revolution of the World Proletariat" to which every Communist is pledged in theory. Mr. Roosevelt went even further, exacting from Comrade Stalin a pledge not to have on Russian soil any organization or persons engaged in attempting to overthrow the U. S. Government...
...president of Budapest University was getting ready to open the institution for its 66th year. To sing at that occasion he invited a group of students who had been harmonizing in taverns and public squares.

What little personal contact one does make during the half year is gleaned solely from the altogether too brief weekly laboratory sections. With three hours of laboratory work crammed into a two-hour session...
...place of assembling the entire class three times a week for formal lectures, Professor Frickey would do well to follow out the same procedure which he already uses in Accounting--namely, to break up the class into compact sections of twenty to thirty members and allow his assistants to do the lecuring on a small scale. This would give that personal instruction which is so necessary to a subject resembling both geometry and algebra. In addition it would eliminate much of the time wasted in stagnant perplexity during the laboratory period. As for reforming the reading material, we can suggest...
