This matter is just one glaring example of the CRIMSON'S gross inadequacy. Anyone who wishes to know the news about Harvard's football team must read a daily such as the New York Times. Two days before the Yale game the CRIMSON fails to give more than four inches of space to the Varsity team and although the Times gives the complete starting lineup, the CRIMSON again fails in its function as a supposed news organ...
...eyes of the Interstate Commerce Commission if not of the traveling public, The Pullman Co. is a common carrier. In the first nine months of 1934 it reported to I. C. C. gross passenger revenues of $33,000,000 which was $4,500,000 better than in the same period of 1933. Average passengers per Pullman car dropped from 11.6 in 1929 to 8.6 last year.

It does nearly $1,000,000,000 a year gross business on a profit margin of about 22% and employs nearly 100,000 people.

The pension system would cost them $60,000,000 in its first year, more later. The extra burden, they declared, would break the back of many a tottering line...
...difficult to understand the attitude of the Princeton authorities, an attitude meriting no other name than intolerance. The custom of forced attendance at church is a gross anachronism. More significant, it is a serious impediment to the cause of religion, struggling mightily to adapt itself to a changing world. To attempt to stimulate religious belief by cramming it down a man's throat is folly. The normal individual not only resents such a practice, but will have a lifelong prejudice against the food of which he partakes so grudgingly...
