...chance for basic study in the field of" African affairs. Indeed, I would go further than this: Harvard should begin to consider the possibilities of establishing an Institute on African Studies, in spite of the fact that "Boston University has recently started such a program." There is no harm in having two Institutes of this sort in this part of the country, for this is one area of study to which one can easily apply the saying "the more the merrier." Furthermore, I believe that Harvard is basically better equipped, if you will, than most universities in this country...
...knowledge of politics is by no means a disqualification for the bench.* Said Justice Henry T. Lummus of the Massachusetts Supreme Court: "There is no certain harm in turning a politician into a judge. He may be or become a good judge. The curse of the elective system is the converse: that it turns almost every judge into a politician." The elected judge, if he wants to be reelected, must make all the commitments of a politician.

He might have said the same of many other Frenchwomen's novels, notably 32-year-old Danielle Hunebelle's Philippine. The pretty young thing of 20 who tells the story manages to seduce a man of more than 50 after failing with his wife. "Had anyone objected," the heroine declares, that loving "leads to hell, I would have replied that one wins one's soul in losing...
...nature, only clubs. In return for this sacrifice, the H.A.A. should continue its services to these activities, such as scheduling their meets. The physical sports which are still "minor" should in turn raise their letter-awarding requirements to equal the standards of the big sports; they will thus not harm the major sports by comparison...
