...introduced as the first speaker Professor F. W. Taussig '79, of the Department of Economics, whose subject was "Social Questions and Social Service." His discussion was on the relation which social service holds to the great world problems of society: socialism, property, foundations of the present regime of society, labor unions, social unrest, and many others. These are the large questions which must be answered sometime, and with these social service can scarcely hope to struggle. Its sphere of labor is among apparently trivial problems. They seem small and workers often wonder whether they are worth while...
...Labor Day, Boston witnessed the best flying that it has ever seen. Ovington won the Boston Globe $10,000 cross-country inter-state flight for monoplanes in 3 hours, 6 minutes, 22 seconds. The course lay first to Nashua, N. H., then to Worcester, from there to Providence, R. I., and back again to the field. The contest committee offered a special prize of $7,500 for a flight by biplanes over the same course, which was won by Lieutenant T. D. Milling, U. S. N., in a Burgess Wright machine in 5 hours, 22 minutes, 27 seconds. The only...

Mr. Russell spent last winter in Australia and investigated problems of government ownership and labor legislation as they are being worked out by the Labor Party there. In former years he has spent much time studying similar problems in England and other European countries...
...main reason for this attitude is undoubtedly found in the foundations of American life today. The intellectually unsettled condition of the country and the life of restless activity which is about us in every class of society, are hardly conducive to quiet scholarly labor. But there must be special internal reasons affecting the case at Harvard. A CRIMSON editorial has pointed out the desirability of making a change in the method and time of election to Phi Beta Kappa. If the requirements for membership were defined, and if the terms of election were arranged so that the best scholars could...
