...ahead of the times but behind the times is Professor Slichter's school for employers, for Labor has already provided itself on a much larger scale with schools for employes including Labor colleges (Brookwood, in Katonah, N.

For such a "traditionalism" they are to be commended, but too great a traditionalism leads to stagnation...
...fact that this fall's turnout was larger by ten than that of last year may be a predicting gesture that the tide in once more coming in. At any rate for two hours yesterday head Freshman Coach Stahley, aided by line coach, Latta Macray, and backfield coach, George Hedblom, conducted the first practice of the 1941 season...
