...course has, over the years, tried to better its means of achieving a "Harvard Standard" in under-graduate writing. To further this end a more compact Handbook will be published next year. It will include reference material for figurative language problems (the task of Language and Informal Logic this year) and will be supplemented by a dozen or so "top-flight" essays from present freshman writing. With the Handbook for reference, the high-grade essays as a standard, and revised editions of the two anthologies for inspiration, incoming freshmen and Director Harold Martin plan to settle down to an efficient...

When he entered White, Weld, he had not expected to enjoy investment banking, but by 1936 he found it enough...
...amour is the French national game, and the French novel is a handbook and guide to its fine points. These are at least as intricate as the fine points of, say, lawn tennis, though perhaps not quite as wholesome. One of the most elegant sportswriters of L'amour is a 26-year-old Flemish-born Parisian housewife and mother named Françoise Mallet-Joris...
