...University should spare no effort to make AVC's job a minor one, however. Some of the official reasons for raising rents at all are decidedly open to doubt; a ham-handed administration of next fall's unpleasantness will surely do little to quiet these suspicions. Of course, some hardship cases will certainly result from the increase. But these must be cut to a minimum by careful and efficient methods.

Unchecked inflation can bring on a serious depression that can cause untold hardship. . . . The American people look to the Congress to pass legislation adequate to perform this all-important task. I trust that when the Congress returns it will promptly enact an effective, workable program...
