To show that the Northern escutcheon is not without blot, one need search no further than Cambridge, itself, seat of culture and learning, to find an instance of social discrimination which occurred only last Spring...
...determined to stop aid to Greek guerrillas from Greece's northern neighbors, but it would work as long as possible within the U.N. framework. Last week the first step was taken.

...esthete and bane of the less creative, is a dying actor on the Harvard scene. But its venerable life has been given momentary reprieve by failure of the Committee on General Education to act on its own suggestion and integrate the teaching of writing into the framework of the General Education program. In its 1945 report the Committee maintained that the segregation of English composition from other fields of learning was a serious weakness in the present system. However, the suggested plan remains lost in the voluminous report, since next year's nearly doubled schedule of experimental courses makes...
