...sincere and genuine encouragement given to extra-curricular activities and sports in the part of President Conant's report relating to the College is indeed a welcome word. The President has been generally thought of as little concerned with any sort of academic affair not at least indirectly tied up with "studies." His support for concentration conferences and House discussion groups was rather to be expected as in the indirect study line, but the boost for outside initiative and the declaration that "no one need fear overemphasis on studies" should serve to dispel the unfortunate and disagreeable shadow which...
...subject of debate among pedagogues and theologians. Modern educators agree that virtue (which they describe as good habits and attitudes) can be taught, but they argue over how.

Total costs then amount to about $5, leaving a neat $10 net for dealer and manufacturer. That Schick, first in the field, should lead in price-cutting was no surprise; that Packard, which has always been out to beard Schick, should cut further was no surprise either. Big surprise was that General...
