After hours of fruitless negotiation, which saw the injection of the first note of commercialism into a CRIMSON-Lampoon feud of fifty years standing, J. M. Boyd '35, kidnaped CRIMSON editor, was recovered last night at a Beacon Street hideout. Retreating behind barred doors of the Jester's building, the editors of the Lampoon made no attempt to prevent Boyd's rescue by representatives of the CRIMSON...
...Graduate Schools. The founders are mindful that the scholastic drudgery necessitated by the Ph.D. is harmful to brilliant minds, not only in dulling their appreciation for originality, but in delaying the action of that originality until three or four of their most significant mental years have been wasted in fruitless research.

...withhold these advantages from those who could make most use of them. True, there will be limited scholarships for able students who are financially dependent, but the limitation must necessarily be great. Regardless of class, the man without support of any kind, whose search for a position has been fruitless, and whose mind becomes consequently ever more bitter and stale is the most pressing problem of any depression. The present step of the Business School has many recommendations, but it can claim small virtue as an altruistic relief measure...
