Hans and Fritz were born of the great circulation war between Joseph Pulitzer and William Randolph Hearst; Pulitzer's New York Sunday World sired the first colored U.S. comic 61 years ago last week. Its star, a slangy, yellow-nightgowned infant who achieved fame as The Yellow Kid,† was promptly snatched by Hearst for the Sunday Journal's eight-page color supplement. A year later, the Journal dragooned 19-year-old Staff Artist Dirks into composing a cartoon based on German Artist Wilhelm Busch's venerable Max und Moritz drawings...

Its ultimate Utopia is to serve as a kind of finish to the Harvard educative process, in that every graduating student will come to its doors in search of advice and information. There can be no doubt that its function is an important and a much-needed one, but until it undergoes some kind of expansion it can never really achieve its capabilities. Two administrator-counsellors, four secretaries, and a little building on Dunster Street will not support Student Placement...
