...Keep your local parliament, with its local powers, if you wish," Eamon de Valera told Ulster. "The Government of Eire is willing to forego the ideal solution of having one parliament only. We are willing for Northern Ireland to have its own local legislature in Belfast-providing Northern Ireland representatives enter an All-Ireland Parliament at Dublin...
...defeat of Plan E. But Harvard must always be prepared for political assault of this kind so long as its "academic freedom" includes complete freedom of political thought to its teachers and students, and as long as Harvard's name is bigger news than most individuals'. As a progressive ideal in education, this privilege, extended to teachers like Dean Landis and to Granville Hicks as a historian, is worth a great deal of ignorant and temporary malignment.

It must, in any case, seem odd to give the title of bachelor of arts annually to hundreds who are in any way proficient in only...
...trek to the Artillery range at the foot of Mount Mansfield is no problem in this day of motorization. By noon July 12th camp was re-organized and preparations made to follow out the ideal life of the Artilleryman: "March and shoot." Tactical problems (Roops), Artillery Firing of all types; even demonstration firing of the heavy calibre 155 mm. adjustment of Artillery Fire by Airplane, Camouflage and Field Fortification and an overnight tactical maneuver; all had their part in the schedule of activities...
