Something very similar to the much-heralded "Harvard indifference" has shown itself in the last year or so in the attitude of the undergraduate with regard to schools. While a number of alumni have been hustling about trying to solve the reason for lack of interest in Harvard at this or that school, the average undergraduate, who more than anyone else can further a better, understanding between Harvard and the students of his school, sits back and does nothing. It would seem advisable, therefore, to form an Association of School, Clubs...
...cost them over twenty-eight billions of pounds in the coming year, and have already involved them in complications with other governments, notably with the United States. This burden has been assumed not only without the consent of the English people but in the face of a conspicuous lack of precedent. With former German possessions still being parcelled about by the League, it is only just that assumption of these mandates be subject to parliamentary control...
...Greener spoke on "Volunteers in Social Settlements."

Expansion seems out of the question.

Princeton is of this group and President Hibben has named a faculty committee to prepare a plan which, while imposing a limitation--perhaps two thousand--will be fair to applicants...
...State Department of Education. Both institutions have the same problems and the same goal, namely the advancement of civilization through better educational work. Dean Holmes, after frankly deploring the status of teachers in the United States, asserted that the troubles of schools were due basically to the lack of respect, pay and opportunity granted to the teaching profession. Conditions were quite the reverse in France, and before the war in Germany, the result being that the American teacher is less equipped to educate than his European associate...
